阿联酋中央银行和埃及中央银行于周二续签了两国本币货币互换协议。
The central banks of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Egypt renewed their currency swap agreement between their respective currencies on Tuesday.
该协议的名义金额为50亿阿联酋迪拉姆或690亿埃及镑（13.6亿美元）。协议由阿联酋中央银行行长哈立德·巴拉马和埃及中央银行行长哈桑·阿卜杜拉签署。此次续签旨在促进两国贸易、加强金融合作并支持经济发展。
The nominal value of the deal was set at 5 billion Emirati dirhams or 69 billion Egyptian pounds ($1.36 billion). It was signed by UAE Central Bank (CBUAE) Governor Khaled Balama and Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) Governor Hassan Abdalla. The renewal aims to foster trade between the two countries, boost financial cooperation and support economic development.
巴拉马表示：“这项协议有助于支持金融稳定，并便利两国之间的贸易和投资业务。它是我们持续努力深化本币在双边结算中的应用、符合国际最佳实践的重要一步，将增强两国金融系统的韧性。”
“This agreement contributes to supporting financial stability, and facilitating trade and investment operations between the two countries. It represents a progressive step within our ongoing efforts to deepen the utilization of local currencies in bilateral settlements, in line with international best practices, thereby enhancing the resilience of the financial system in both nations,” said Balama.
阿卜杜拉表示，此次续签延续了双方密切合作，以支持加强经济联系的共同努力。
Abdalla described the renewal as a continuation of close cooperation to support joint efforts to strengthen economic ties.
他说：“这项协议为促进商业和金融结算中的本币交易提供了重要工具，增强了两国金融市场的韧性。我们期待这一举措为金融和投资领域的合作开辟更广阔的前景，从而支持两国的经济发展计划。”
“The agreement provides a vital tool to promote transactions in local currencies for commercial and financial settlements, enhancing the resilience of financial markets in both countries. We look forward to this step unlocking wider horizons for cooperation in the fields of finance and investment, in a way that supports economic development plans in both nations,” he said.
8月30日，阿联酋央行和埃及央行发表联合声明，表示将合作协调，恢复埃及国民银行在阿联酋各分行的全部业务。此前，美国财政部于8月28日以该行阿联酋分行涉嫌与伊朗有关联为由，决定暂停这些分行的美元交易。
The UAE and Egyptian central banks made a joint statement on Aug. 30 to cooperate and coordinate on resuming all operations at Banque Misr’s UAE branches after the US Treasury Department decided to suspend dollar transactions at the bank’s Emirati branches due to alleged ties with Iran on Aug. 28.
