Security agencies at the Ministry of Interior are stepping up efforts to combat illegal foreign-currency trading and speculation on exchange rates by pursuing those involved in hoarding foreign currencies or trading them outside the legal framework and official banking channels. The campaign aims to preserve the stability of the currency market and support the state's efforts to protect the national economy from practices that could harm the flow of money and price stability.

Over the past 24 hours, the Public Security Sector, in coordination with the General Department for Combating Public Funds Crimes and security directorates across the governorates, seized a number of cases of illegal trading in various foreign currencies with a total value estimated at more than EGP 6 million.

The necessary legal action has been taken against the suspects, while security agencies continue their intensive campaigns to pursue and arrest those involved in illegal foreign-currency trading as part of ongoing efforts to enforce discipline in the financial market.
