Egypt’s Foreign Reserves Continue Upward Trend Reaching $48.14 Billion in April

Egypt’s net international reserves (NIRs) rose to $48.14 billion by the end of April 2025, according to the latest figures published by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE). This marks a continued increase from $47.757 billion recorded at the end of March.

The reserves have been showing steady monthly growth over recent periods. In February, NIRs stood at $47.393 billion, rising from $47.26 billion in January.

December 2024 saw a further uptick to $47.1 billion, reflecting a $157 million gain from November’s $46.95 billion.

The reserves had been $46.94 billion at the end of October, indicating a gradual but consistent rise over several months.

Egypt’s foreign reserves are made up of a basket of major global currencies, including the US dollar, euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and Chinese yuan.

The allocation of these holdings is determined by the Central Bank based on exchange rate dynamics and the relative stability of each currency in international markets.

This strategy is part of a broader reserve management framework aimed at ensuring economic resilience and currency stability.
