Egypt's Foreign Reserve Reached USD 48.7 Billion by June
Jul 16, 2025
Egypt's international reserves ticked upward in June, with the Central Bank reporting a rise to USD 48.7 billion by the end of the month. This marks an increase of USD 174 million from USD 48.526 billion in May 2025, as well as a rise from USD 47.1 billion in December 2024.
The growth follows two previous months of increases, with May closing at USD 48.526 billion and April at USD 48.144 billion. The persistent gains come amidst ongoing macroeconomic adjustments.
This marks the third straight month of improvement, each showing modest but consistent climbs. The upward slope suggests both a deliberate policy posture and a measure of insulation from external shocks.
Egypt's foreign reserves had dipped in recent years, strained by global market volatility and domestic financing needs. In 2022 and 2023, the country faced heightened pressure on its balance of payments, leading to a shift in monetary strategy and multiple rounds of IMF engagement.

Data Reveals: Egypt's Rising Gold Export Value Driven by Global Prices, Not Industrial Growth
Waleed Farouk Despite recent discussions about a surge in Egypt's gold exports, available data paints a different picture, indicating that there hasn't been a substantial boom. Statistics show that roughly 90% of the gold exported is raw gold—a long-standing practice in the Egyptian market aimed at securing foreign currency and providing local cash liquidity. This trend became more apparent after the Central Bank intervened and lifted the valuation fees on raw gold exports, following an earlier decision by the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade in 2021 to impose those fees in line with those applied to jewelry exports. Why Have Export Values Increased? The primary reason is the rise in global gold prices, not an actual increase in export volumes or an improvement in local industry. Therefore, much of the narrative from the Precious Metals Division seems more like an attempt to maintain media visibility. The most critical indicator in this context is the volume of jewelry exports, as it is the only metric that reflects real added value for the domestic industry. In contrast, collecting scrap gold, melting it, and reselling it abroad does not constitute genuine industrial growth. How Much Jewelry Does Egypt Export? This question can only be answered precisely through official data issued by the Assay and Weights Authority and Customs Authority. However, according to sector sources, following the December 2022 decision by Minister of Supply and Internal Trade Dr. Ali Al-Moselhy to remove valuation fees on jewelry exports, some companies attempted to enter the export market. Nevertheless, the numbers remain limited. Business owners confirm that Egypt's total jewelry exports since the beginning of the year have not exceeded 100 kilograms—a modest figure compared to regional markets. Moreover, the total value 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 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 Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

World Bank: Egypt to Repay $20.3 Billion in H2 2025
Taarek Refaat Egypt is scheduled to repay $20.3 billion in external debt obligations during the second half of 2025, according to newly released data from the World Bank. The figure includes $4.6 billion in deposits, most of which are owed to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, underscoring Cairo's mounting short-term liabilities amid ongoing efforts to stabilize its external balance sheet. The disclosure comes as Egypt faces a surge in debt service requirements over the coming quarters. In Q1 of 2026 alone, repayments are projected to climb to $23.8 billion, including $13.6 billion due in that quarter. Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly responded to the data by reaffirming the government's commitment to honoring all dollar-denominated obligations. 'The Central Bank's report clearly shows our full commitment to repaying external dues,' Madbouly said in a recent statement, emphasizing ongoing fiscal discipline and structural reforms. He added that the government remains focused on securing a sustainable downward trajectory for external debt, while ramping up efforts to attract new foreign direct investment (FDI) across strategic sectors. These initiatives aim to reduce reliance on external borrowing by diversifying funding sources for public and private projects. A significant portion of Egypt's upcoming debt obligations stems from Gulf deposits, extended during recent financial support packages from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other GCC countries. While those funds helped stabilize the Egyptian economy in recent years, they are now coming due. However, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its fourth program review, noted that Gulf countries have signaled no plans to recall the deposits before the end of the IMF program. Instead, some of these holdings could be converted into equity investments, potentially easing Egypt's short-term debt pressures. The Egyptian government is currently negotiating such deposit-to-investment conversions, which could restructure the debt profile and improve the country's external financing outlook. As of the end of March 2025, Egypt's external debt stood at $156.7 billion, up from $155.1 billion three months earlier. This increase was largely driven by a $2.8 billion rise in government borrowing, which reached $82 billion. At the same time, external loans held by The Central Bank declined slightly to $34 billion (from $34.25 billion), commercial banks dropped to $20.9 billion (from $21.7 billion), and other sectors fell marginally to $19.7 billion. Despite these marginal declines, the IMF anticipates a sharp increase in Egypt's total external debt by the end of the current fiscal year, projecting it to reach $180.6 billion, up from an earlier estimate of $162 billion. This represents a $41 billion upward revision compared to the third program review in August 2024, raising concerns over Egypt's debt sustainability targets. The updated figures put additional pressure on the Egyptian government to accelerate reforms, attract long-term capital, and reduce its reliance on short-term borrowing. Analysts warn that failure to meet these goals could lead to credit rating downgrades, higher borrowing costs, and greater vulnerability to external shocks. However, ongoing IMF support and potential Gulf investment inflows provide Cairo with breathing room, if effectively managed. Economic Reforms Bring Fiscal Gains and Public Pain Since re-engaging with the International Monetary Fund, Egypt has pursued a bold agenda of liberalizing its economy. The most consequential measure came with the free-floating of the Egyptian pound, which while praised by international markets for improving competitiveness, triggered a wave of inflation that has hollowed out household purchasing power. Simultaneously, the removal of subsidies on energy and electricity, long a cornerstone of Egypt's social safety net, has made daily living costs unbearable for millions, particularly the country's shrinking middle class. 'The IMF program looks sound on paper,' said one Cairo-based economist who requested anonymity, 'but its real-life application has led to sharp income erosion and a rise in poverty. For many Egyptians, the cost of reform is simply too high.' Headline inflation has remained persistently elevated, hovering above 30% for much of the year. Food, fuel, and transportation prices have surged, with salaries failing to keep pace. The urban middle class, once considered the backbone of economic modernization, is being squeezed out, forced to cut spending, downsize, or rely on remittances. 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 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 Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

London to Host Inaugural UK-Africa Business Summit to Boost Trade and Investment
London will host its first UK-Africa Business Summit in 2026, in a strategic push to enhance trade and investment ties with the African continent. The announcement was made by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who said the summit would position the British capital as a global hub for African businesses and investors. Set to take place next year, the summit aims to bring together African entrepreneurs, investors, government representatives, stock exchanges, and business networks from across the continent. Organisers say the event will promote London as a springboard for African companies looking to expand internationally. The initiative is backed by data from London & Partners, the city's official promotional agency, which projects that trade between the UK and Africa could reach £62 billion by 2030. The report, based on data from the Office for National Statistics and the IMF, highlights the rapid growth of Africa's tech ecosystem—up 40% since 2019—and names Lagos as the world's top emerging tech hub. London Builds Momentum as Gateway for African Investment London has long positioned itself as a key destination for African capital. Since 2013, it has remained the leading European city for African foreign direct investment, attracting 72 African-led investment projects. It is also ranked second globally among cities outside Africa in attracting such investment. Mayor Khan recently returned from a high-profile trade mission to African capitals including Lagos, Accra, Johannesburg and Cape Town, where he met with local officials and private sector leaders. The visit, he said, was aimed at 'building stronger bridges' with the continent and exploring new avenues for collaboration. He was accompanied by a delegation of 27 London-based companies looking to grow in African markets. 'London is uniquely positioned to benefit from Africa's fast-growing economies—whether through tech startups or financial services,' Khan said. 'This summit is a key part of our international strategy and will help generate thousands of high-quality jobs in the coming years.' The summit is expected to mark a turning point in UK-Africa relations, at a time when both sides are seeking to diversify economic partnerships. Organisers say it will not only boost bilateral trade but also strengthen London's role as a platform for global investment into Africa's innovation economy.
