Egypt to issue 200- and 500-pound notes in 2007

According to a November 13, 2006, article in The Daily Star, Farouq Al-Oqda, chairman of the Central Bank of Egypt, said during the recent Annual Arab Banking Conference 2006 held in Beirut that a 200-pound bank note will be issued in March 2007 and another 500-pound note will accompany July 23rd celebrations. Low-value notes like the 5- and 10-piaster have almost been informally abolished. “The state didn’t directly cause these little banknotes to diminish; but people’s attitudes did. For example, we always neglect the 5 piaster change as if it is no longer of any value,” explains Dr Hoda Zakaria, professor of political sociology at Zaqaziq University.
