Egypt’s Foreign Reserves Reach Record USD 49.5 Billion in September

Egypt’s net international reserves rose by USD 2.8 billion in September 2025, reaching a record USD 49.5 billion, according to the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE). This represents an increase from USD 46.7 billion in the same month last year. The reserves include foreign currency assets, gold, and other holdings used to support Egypt’s import capacity and manage external debt obligations. The CBE attributed the rise to strong performance across multiple sectors, including tourism revenues, worker remittances, and Suez Canal income, which continue to bolster foreign currency inflows.
