Egypt Records Highest-Ever Primary Surplus of EGP 629 Billion in FY2024/25
Taarek Refaat Egypt has achieved its largest-ever primary budget surplus, recording EGP 629 billion ($13.1 billion) in the fiscal year 2024/25, equivalent to 3.6% of GDP, according to a statement released Saturday by the Egyptian Presidency. The figure marks an 80% jump compared to the EGP 350 billion surplus registered in 2023/24. Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk presented the results during a meeting with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, attended by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, stressing that the surplus was secured despite significant external shocks. Among the challenges, the government highlighted a sharp 60% drop in Suez Canal revenues compared to budget forecasts, resulting in a shortfall of around EGP 145 billion. Nevertheless, Kouchouk said the strong fiscal outcome was accompanied by robust improvements in Egypt's broader economic indicators, including a surge in private investment, manufacturing, and export activity. The statement also revealed that Egypt achieved its highest growth in tax revenues in years, climbing 35% to reach nearly EGP 2.2 trillion in FY2024/25. Officials credited the increase to expanded tax facilities, a broadened tax base, and strengthened trust and cooperation with the business community. Overall revenues grew 29% year-on-year, while primary expenditures rose 16.3%, underscoring what the government described as a more efficient fiscal management strategy aimed at consolidating the state budget. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
