Egypt's Foreign Reserve Reached USD 48.7 Billion by June
The Central Bank of Egypt confirms a USD 174 million boost in reserves, extending a multi-month trend of gains in the country's foreign currency position 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.
