Egypt’s Cabinet Media Center announced that remittances from Egyptians abroad have reached record levels, strengthening international reserves thanks to the Central Bank of Egypt’s prudent monetary policies.
Remittances amounted to about $36.5 billion, boosting net international reserves to $49.3 billion in August 2025—double their level a decade earlier.
Reserves had stood at $36.5 billion in 2024–2025, compared to $17.1 billion in 2015–2016. They reached $21.9 billion in 2023–2024, $22.1 billion in 2022–2023, $31.9 billion in 2021–2022, and $31.4 billion in 2020–2021.
