CAIRO — Egypt has reached a major financial milestone after its net foreign exchange reserves climbed to a record $55.072 billion at the end of June 2026.

The latest figure represents a significant increase in the country’s foreign-currency holdings and strengthens Egypt’s ability to meet external financial obligations while supporting broader economic stability.

The record reserve level is being viewed as a major development for Egypt’s financial position. Officials have highlighted the improvement as part of wider progress in the country’s economic indicators, while inflationary pressures have continued to ease.

Economic analysts say stronger foreign-exchange reserves can help improve market confidence, support import financing, and provide greater protection against external economic shocks.

The development comes as Egypt continues working to strengthen its economy, attract investment, expand exports, and improve foreign-currency inflows through tourism, remittances, trade, and investment.

Egypt’s record reserves mark a significant financial milestone and could strengthen confidence in the country’s economic outlook as authorities continue pursuing wider economic reforms.
