IMF to Review $2.3 Bn Disbursement to Egypt on February 25

The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund is scheduled to meet on February 25 to review Egypt’s economic reform program, a move that could pave the way for the disbursement of approximately $2.3 billion in financing.

The expected tranche includes around $2 billion under Egypt’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF) arrangement, in addition to roughly $300 million from the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), according to IMF officials.

The review is part of Egypt’s ongoing agreement with the IMF aimed at supporting macroeconomic stability, boosting foreign currency reserves, and advancing structural reforms. Approval by the Fund’s board would allow the new funds to be released shortly after the meeting.

Egypt has been implementing a series of economic measures under the IMF-backed program, including exchange rate reforms, fiscal consolidation, and steps to enhance private sector participation. The reforms are intended to address external financing gaps and strengthen economic resilience amid global economic headwinds.

The IMF has previously acknowledged progress in Egypt’s reform efforts, while stressing the importance of sustaining momentum to ensure long-term stability and inclusive growth.

The upcoming board meeting is being closely watched by investors and policymakers, as the anticipated disbursement would provide additional support to Egypt’s public finances and reinforce confidence in the country’s reform trajectory.
