Week in Review — 6 August 2026
USD/EGP was the standout this week with a 1.7% gain. On a USD 500 transfer, recipients currently receive approximately EGP 442 more than the prior period. The remaining monitored routes tracked within a sub-1% range.
| Corridor | 7-Day Change | Weekly High | Weekly Low | Weekly Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD/NGN | +0.09% | 1,365.81 | 1,361.07 | 0.35% |
| GBP/NGN | -0.87% | 1,839.70 | 1,817.50 | 1.22% |
| EUR/NGN | -0.91% | 1,573.81 | 1,558.73 | 0.97% |
| USD/KES | +0.06% | 129.44 | 129.20 | 0.18% |
| GBP/KES | -0.90% | 174.46 | 172.59 | 1.09% |
| USD/GHS | -0.52% | 11.73 | 11.67 | 0.52% |
| EUR/XOF | -0.01% | 655.86 | 655.77 | 0.01% |
| USD/EGP | +1.74% | 51.15 | 49.81 | 2.69% |
An isolated corridor move like this is informative but not conclusive. A single 7-day move above 1% crosses the threshold for a weekly fluctuation, but needs confirmation over the following week before it can be called a trend.
For USD/EGP: compare providers before your next transfer — the move is large enough to have shifted relative provider value. For all other corridors this week, provider fees are a larger variable than rate timing.
