Egypt imposes currency limits / Malaysia currency limits

If you are travelling to Egypt, you may want to take note of their new ruling on currency limits.

The Star reported today that:

Egypt has banned travellers from carrying more than US$10,000 in foreign currency in or out of the country, as officials worry over pressure on its pound currency and a rush by Egyptians to withdraw their savings from banks.

Political turmoil over the past month has raised fears among ordinary citizens and investors that the government - which has pushed back talks to seal IMF funding till January - may not be able to get its fragile finances under control.
