CDs, gold, dollars — or the EGX?

Put an amount in a year and see what it would be worth today — in nominal terms and in real terms after inflation. EGP 100 growing to 300 isn't a gain if prices grew 4x.

Data note: FX, EGX30 and inflation series are verified against CBE/EGX/CAPMAS figures; the CD series and pre-2024 gold series are best-effort archival reconstructions (±5%). Gold values for 2022–23 reflect actual local market quotes, which embedded the parallel-rate premium.

What won in the past won't necessarily win next. That's why we work in probabilities, not rear-view mirrors — see the distributions.
