Egypt Reports 5.2 Percent Growth and Rising Foreign Reserves

The Ministry of Planning of Egypt announced that the national economy grew by 5.2 percent during the first nine months of the 2025-2026 fiscal year. This growth period, which spans from July 2025 to March 2026, indicates a period of economic expansion for the country.

In a separate but concurrent development, the Central Bank of Egypt reported a rise in net foreign currency reserves. The reserves increased to 53.134 billion US dollars in May, up from the 53.009 billion US dollars recorded in April.

These figures combined suggest a stabilization of Egypt's financial position and a positive trajectory for national output. The increase in foreign reserves provides a critical buffer for the state's ability to manage external debt and stabilize the local currency. The growth reported by the Ministry of Planning underscores the resilience of the domestic economy during the current fiscal cycle.
