Angular custom pipe not working 'pipe not found'

I am trying to create a custom pipe in my Angular app but keep getting the 'no pipe found with name "currencyFormat"' error message. I created the pipe using Angular CLI: ng g pipe /components/pipes/currency-format, and the code looks like this:

import { formatNumber } from '@angular/common';

@Pipe({
  name: 'currencyFormat'
})
export class CurrencyFormatPipe implements PipeTransform {
  transform(value: any, currency: string): any {
    const currencySymbol = (currency == 'EUR' ? '€' : '$');
    let formattedValue = `${currencySymbol} ${formatNumber(value, 'be', '1.2-2')}`;
    return formattedValue;
  }

}

Because I used the Angular CLI to create the pipe, the pipe is added to the declarations of app.module.ts automatically. I am trying to use the pipe in one of my page (home.page.html), but still I get this error. I've tried many different things so far, including putting the pipe in a separate module and trying to import that module, but without any success.

Any ideas what this issue might be?

EDIT: here is my app.module.ts as well, in case it's useful:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { RouteReuseStrategy } from '@angular/router';

import { IonicModule, IonicRouteStrategy } from '@ionic/angular';
import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen/ngx';
import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar/ngx';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { ComponentsModule } from 'src/app/components/components.module';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { ChartsModule } from 'ng2-charts';
import { environment } from "src/environments/environment";
import { AngularFireModule } from "@angular/fire";
import { AngularFirestoreModule } from "@angular/fire/firestore";
import { ServiceWorkerModule } from '@angular/service-worker';
import { CurrencyFormatPipe } from './components/pipes/currency-format.pipe';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent, CurrencyFormatPipe],
  entryComponents: [],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule, 
    IonicModule.forRoot({ animated: true, mode: 'ios' }), 
    AppRoutingModule, 
    ComponentsModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    ChartsModule,
    AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebaseConfig),
    AngularFirestoreModule,
    ServiceWorkerModule.register('ngsw-worker.js', { enabled: environment.production })
  ],
  providers: [
    StatusBar,
    SplashScreen,
    { provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: IonicRouteStrategy }
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}
