Central Bank of Egypt Wed, Jul. 9, 2025
CAIRO – 9 July 2025: The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) announced that the country’s net international reserves (NIRs) rose to $48.7 billion by the end of June 2025, up from $48.526 billion in May—with a $174 million increase.

This marks the latest step in a steady upward trend that has seen Egypt’s reserves strengthen over recent months.

In May 2025, the CBE had previously reported an increase in foreign currency reserves to $48.526 billion, compared to $48.144 billion recorded in April. The reserves also grew in April, reaching $48.144 billion, up from $47.757 billion at the end of March 2025, reflecting ongoing resilience in Egypt’s external position.

Egypt’s foreign exchange reserves are composed of a diversified basket of major international currencies, including the US dollar, euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and Chinese yuan. These reserves play a critical role in maintaining the stability of Egypt’s currency, meeting the country's external obligations, and supporting investor confidence.
