CAIRO, March 9 (Reuters) - Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Saturday that with tens of billions of dollars in new financing from the United Arab Emirates and the International Monetary Fund, moving to a flexible exchange rate would be possible.
Sisi said he had stopped the pound currency from floating last year for national security reasons because a large amount of funding was needed before making such a move.
