The Federal Reserve raised key interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) on March 22nd, marking its ninth increase in around a year. This comes as federal policymakers have voted unanimously to increase the benchmark interest rate to just under 5%. The rates were expected to increase by 0.5%, but were affected by the shutdown of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) earlier in March. This raise not only is affecting the global gold markets, businesses, and exchange rates, but is also having some impact on Egypt’s economy.
