Data from the Statistical Bulletin of the Central Bank of Egypt indicate a significant increase in total credit facilities during the first half of 2025, reflecting the continued strength of the banking sector and its vital role in financing various economic sectors.
Total credit facilities in June 2025 reached approximately EGP 9.322 trillion, compared to around EGP 8.376 trillion in December 2024, representing an increase of EGP 0.947 trillion over just six months. Based on these figures, the growth rate reached approximately 11.3%, reflecting the expansion of lending by Egyptian banks and the continued strong demand for financing from both companies and individuals.
This growth is attributed to the flexible credit policies adopted by banks, along with improved liquidity levels in the banking system and the overall stability of the monetary and economic environment. The sustained increase in credit facilities also demonstrates the confidence of institutions in the domestic economy and the banking sector’s ability to finance productive, commercial, and investment activities, in line with the state’s objectives to support economic growth and enhance financial inclusion.
Overall, this performance highlights the Egyptian banking sector’s ability to balance credit expansion with risk management, ensuring sustainable credit growth and reinforcing financial stability.
