Egypt Today: Egypt’s total external debt reached $161.2 billion by the end of June 2025, up from $156.7 billion at the end of March 2025, reflecting a $4.5 billion increase, according to the latest report from the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE).
The report highlighted that 80.8 percent of the external debt is long-term, contributing to a more stable debt management structure.
The debt-to-GDP ratio stands at 44.2 percent, indicating that the country’s debt remains within manageable limits.
In terms of the current account, the deficit reduced by 25.9 percent to $15.4 billion, driven by a rise in remittances from Egyptians abroad, growth in service and tourism revenues, and an increase in non-oil exports.
Additionally, net international reserves grew to $48.7 billion by the end of June 2025, enough to cover around 6.4 months of goods imports, reflecting an enhanced capacity for Egypt to meet its foreign currency requirements.
Finally, the report also noted a net capital inflow of $10.2 billion during FY2024/2025, partly supported by foreign direct investment.
