Security agencies at the Ministry of Interior are stepping up their efforts to combat illegal foreign currency trading and speculation on exchange rates, pursuing those involved in hoarding foreign currencies or trading them outside the legal framework and official banking channels. The effort 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 Administration 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 nearly EGP 10 million.

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