<prompt> Human: I want to buy consumer goods a phone, a pair of headphones, a printer etc. but the prices of everything has doubled at a rate of about 10 per month for the past year. I try and get my friends and family to buy things for me from abroad but they wont take my currency EGP saying that exchange firms will not take it atleast for non-nationals of that country.The only way i can get USD or EUROs is if i pay 17-18 EGP per USD at the black market sellers, the banks rate is 8.88 per USD as of Oct192016; and that is IF they allow me to buy the currency. For example the price of an IPhone 6s at release last year was about 7000-9000 EGP same time this year the price is 22000-24000 EGP for the IPhone 7i only use this example because electronics were hit the hardest by the illegal black market currency trade. To make this more clear no bank will give ANYONE foreign currency and black market sellers MIGHT give you at a preposterous rate.What do i do? How do i buy simple consumer goods at a reasonable price? Where can i exchange my money for USD at the official rate? What am i to expect in the future?Edit: This is not about buying a phone this is about my ability to buy things freely and not have to go through illegal methods and shady persons.Edit2: Allot of people are saying move to a different country, i would if i could but cant. Im 18 and in University studying international law, i will consider my options when i graduate. But i am trying to make due with my current situation using any loophole or method necessary. Sorry for any spelling or grammatical mistakes English is not my first language.  <response>: The black market rate is what the currency is really valued at, like it or not. Just because some one says its rated at 8.88 doesnt mean shit. It is worth what people will pay, thats how supply and demand work. Either pay the black market or move to a country where this isnt going on... Oh if its 15 per month by the chart here Your yearly inflation is closer to 300-500... But i guess it hasent been a full year yet.If it was me id buy as much goods as i could and i know i could sell or trade with at a later time. Food, water, gold, ammo, etc.
