CAIRO - 6 August 2025: Egypt’s net international reserves reached $49.036 billion by the end of July 2025, rising from $48.700 billion at the end of June.
This marks an increase of $336 million, according to data released by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE).
Egypt’s foreign reserves are built on a diversified mix of major international currencies, including the US dollar, euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and Chinese yuan.
Earlier in July, the CBE had announced a previous increase in reserves, with figures rising to $48.7 billion by the end of June 2025, up from $48.526 billion in May—an increase of $174 million.
Additionally, the CBE revealed a significant surge in remittances from Egyptians working abroad.
Between July and May of fiscal year 2024/2025, remittance inflows jumped by sixty-nine point six percent, reaching $32.8 billion compared to approximately $19.4 billion during the same period of the previous fiscal year.
This sharp rise in remittances has played a crucial role in supporting Egypt’s foreign currency resources and easing pressures on the balance of payments.
