Egypt's net foreign assets rose to around $15.22 billion by the end of May 2026, compared to approximately $15.16 billion at the end of April, according to a data released by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE).

According to the data, reserve money increased to EGP 2.57 trillion by the end of May, up from EGP 2.43 trillion in the comparative period, reflecting continued improvement in liquidity indicators and reserves within the banking sector.

This positive performance comes amid higher foreign currency inflows into the Egyptian market, which have helped strengthen the net foreign assets surplus and support exchange rate stability. It has also enhanced the banking sector’s ability to meet the economy’s foreign currency needs.

Net foreign assets are a key indicator of the external financial position of the banking sector. They measure the difference between foreign assets and foreign liabilities, offering insight into the economy’s ability to meet its external obligations and support financial market stability.

The data also confirmed that net foreign assets have continued to record a surplus in recent months, reflecting an improvement in foreign currency inflows into the Egyptian economy, whether through exports, remittances from Egyptians working abroad, foreign investments, or other sources of foreign currency.
