Egypt has registered its highest-ever monthly inflow of foreign currency, with total dollar resources reaching $8.5 billion in July 2025, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced this week.
The record-breaking figure marks a significant milestone in the country’s efforts to stabilize its external balances and attract international capital.
The announcement comes amid a string of record-setting performances for Egypt’s external finances, most notably a surge in remittances from Egyptians abroad, which reached $36.5 billion during the fiscal year 2024/25, a 66.2% increase from $21.9 billion the previous year.
“These figures reflect growing confidence in the Egyptian economy and its long-term stability,” Madbouly said in a statement, noting that the July total is the highest monthly dollar inflow in Egypt’s history.
Egypt’s June 2025 remittance inflows alone hit $3.6 billion, also a record monthly high, representing a 40.7% increase compared to June 2024, according to data recently published by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE).
Analysts attribute the spike in remittances and foreign currency inflows to a combination of favorable exchange rates, renewed investor confidence, and macroeconomic reforms introduced in recent quarters, including the unification of exchange rates, structural reforms in public finance, and increased openness to foreign direct investment.
