Invest in USD or local currency? ☺️

In Egypt, most APYs on ETFs here are over 20%

Due to high inflation rate, weak currency, etc

Should I invest in USD even if it’s lower APY, or should I invest using my local currency and hoping that it’s not gonna take a big hit?

Tbh, with all the trump decisions, I feel safer in my local currency.

EGP=>USD through the last year is like %4+ which is great!
