Egypt: President El-Sisi Meets Prime Minister, Central Bank Governor, and Minister of Finance
Today, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met with Prime Minister, Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt, Mr. Hassan Abdallah, and Minister of Finance, Mr. Ahmed Kouchouk.
Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy, stated that the President was briefed on macroeconomic indicators, as well as the economic and structural reforms and measures the government is implementing. These efforts aim to improve financial and economic indicators through sectoral programs that cover various economic activities, while continuing to expand and enhance social protection programs targeting the most vulnerable groups.
The meeting also reviewed updates on the implementation of the economic reform program, increasing productive activities and sectors, as well as diversifying and stimulating economic sectors. This serves to maximize return for the state, contain inflationary pressures, encourage the private sector to drive economic growth and employment, and attract more domestic and foreign investment flows.
President El-Sisi emphasized the necessity of continuing and strengthening coordination between fiscal and monetary policies, to ensure their alignment with the state's economic vision.
The President reiterated the significance of focusing on increasing foreign currency reserves levels, fulfilling the necessary financing needs to enhance development efforts, sustainably and strongly reducing the debt of state's budget entities and servicing it, and working to reduce external debt.

Egypt puts military on high alert and tests air defence systems amid rising regional tensions
Egypt has put its armed forces on high alert and carried out nationwide drills of its air defence systems as fears grow of a broader Iran-Israel conflict, sources told The National. Egypt 's top government officials are holding emergency meetings to decide on measures to ensure that the import-dependent nation of 106 million maintains adequate reserves of food, fuel and other essential commodities. The goal is to mitigate potential disruptions to global supply chains triggered by escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. Egypt shares a border with Israel along the eastern edge of its Sinai peninsula. The most populous Arab nation has, on several occasions since the Gaza war erupted in 2023, seen projectiles fired by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen veering off course and landing on Egyptian territory. These incidents caused material damage but no fatalities. The sources said that while the Egyptian military's combat units have been put on high alert nationwide, those deployed in the Sinai Peninsula were ordered to go on maximum alert. The orders went out shortly after Israel's latest round of hostilities with Iran began on Friday, when Israel's first wave of strikes killed senior Iranian military leaders and damaged nuclear and military infrastructure. Iran has responded with barrages of missiles and drones fired on Israel, killing three people and injuring scores, as both adversaries vowed more attacks. The sources said the testing of Egypt's air defence systems involved nearly all of the nation's 27 provinces. "The exercise was designed to see if there are any gaps in the nationwide coverage by the air defences," said one source. The source did not say what exactly was involved in the drills, but spoke of how they left "debris" on the ground across much of the nation. The higher state of alert and the air defence drills come at a time when Cairo's relations with Israel are at their lowest point because of the Gaza war, now in its 21st month, while relations with Iran are rapidly improving. Relations worsened significantly in May 2024 when Israeli forces seized the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing and a narrow buffer zone running the length of the Gaza-Egypt frontier. Egypt is closely monitoring the potential consequences of further escalation, according to the sources, particularly the risk of Iran retaliating by closing the Strait of Hormuz or Bab Al-Mandab – both critical maritime chokepoints. The closure of either would effectively block access to the Suez Canal, a vital source of foreign currency for Egypt, and threaten the country's fuel supplies and oil-based imports. A government statement said Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has discussed ways to increase the nation's "strategic reserves" of a range of goods with central bank governor Hassan Abdullah and Finance Minister Ahmed Kajouk. Mr Madbouly held a separate meeting on Friday night with the ministers of oil and electricity to discuss the "ramifications of the military events in the region", the statement said, without providing further detail. Israel has already suspended natural gas exports to Egypt due to the tenuous security situation arising from its conflict with Iran, according to media reports. The move could disrupt power generation in Egypt, where gas-fuelled stations supply much of the country's electricity. With summer temperatures already climbing, Egypt is bracing for a surge in energy demand. Rolling power cuts as recently as 2023 produced a popular backlash in Egypt, including a level of potentially disruptive popular discontent not seen since President Abdel Fattah El Sisi took office in 2014. Egypt's atomic agency on Saturday sought to reassure Egyptians on the possibility of radiation leaks from Iranian nuclear facilities damaged by Israeli air strikes. "There are no indications of a change or a rise in radiation levels," it said in a statement. "We are monitoring round-the-clock the developments related to the situation at nuclear facilities in the region." Surrounded by regional crises Egypt has for years faced challenges from regional conflicts: Libya's civil war since 2011; Sudan's collapse into fighting in April 2023, which has sent 1.5 million refugees across Egypt's southern border; and the continuing war in Gaza. Now, Egypt must prepare for handling a possible fallout from the tit-for-tat strikes between Israel and Iran, all while facing a sensitive domestic situation. Authorities are trying to prevent hundreds of foreign pro-Palestinian activists from marching towards Rafah, on the Gaza border, in a show of solidarity with Palestinians. The government has stated that such actions require prior official authorisation. Security officials said around 200 activists have already been detained and deported upon arrival at Cairo airport. Another 74 activists have been detained just outside the Suez Canal city of Ismailia, where a standoff continued Saturday between riot police and scores of activists prevented from proceeding east towards Rafah.

Cairo postpones opening of its Grand Museum amid regional escalation
Egypt announced on Saturday it was postponing the much-heralded opening of its $1-billion Grand Egyptian Museum that had been scheduled for July 3. A statement by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said the museum will now be formally opened on a day to be decided "at a suitable time" during the fourth quarter of this year. The ministry cited "current regional developments" - a thinly veiled reference to the Israel-Iran conflict - as the reason behind the delay. "The decision is rooted in the Egyptian state's national responsibility and its desire to present an exceptional global event in a climate that's becoming of the glory of the Egyptian civilisation and its unique legacy," said the statement. The museum, which had a partial soft opening last year, will continue to receive visitors until the formal opening date approaches, it added. The museum, the largest in the world to contain artefacts from a single civilisation, was first announced in 2002, when a foundation stone was laid at the site, two kilometres away from the Giza pyramids. Egypt is forecasting a 6 per cent annual increase in international visitors this year to reach 16.8 million travellers, despite the shadow of regional wars. It aims to further diversify its offerings and expand into adventure travel and conference meetings, among other avenues, according to Sherif Fathy, Egypt's Minister of Tourism and Antiquities. Egypt may revise its annual forecast upwards later in the year, as the first three months of 2025 showed a 25 per cent annual increase, he said. 'I hope I'm going to announce to you soon a forecast that is higher than 10 per cent, but I'll wait for the second quarter in order to be able to give a more realistic forecast for the year,' he added.

Egyptian Foreign Minister condemns Israeli aggression against Iran in phone call with Iranian counterpart
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty condemned the Zionist regimes military attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran in a phone call on Friday with his Iranian counterpart Seyed Abbas Araghchi. Abdelatty described the attacks as fueling an extremely dangerous regional escalation, a blatant violation of international law and the UN Charter, and a clear threat to regional and international security and stability. The Iranian foreign minister, while appreciating the phone call and Egypt's stance in condemning the Zionist regime's aggression against Iran, emphasized, "This attack constitutes a clear violation of Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity and a gross breach of the UN Charter.' Araghchi added, 'The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on the right to self-defense, will deliver a decisive response to this aggression by the Zionist regime."
