Egypt’s foreign reserves sufficient for 8M imports – CBE

Cairo – Mubasher: Egypt’s foreign reserves are adequate to cover imports for eight months, Reuters reported, citing Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) Sub-governor Rami Abulnaga.

Foreign reserves rose to $37.19 billion in December 2017 from $36.723 billion a month earlier.

Egypt's foreign reserves stood at $36 billion ahead of the January 25 Revolution in 2011.

Foreign reserves of the North African nation have been jumped since the country signed a three-year $12 billion loan programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2016 in an effort to attract investors and revive the economy.
