Net international reserves at the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) reached about USD 57.35 billion at the end of September 2026, the highest level in their history, reflecting improving foreign currency indicators and the Egyptian economy's stronger ability to withstand external pressures.

CBE data also showed the banking sector's net foreign assets rising to USD 31.2 billion at the end of August 2026, the highest level since 2011, supported by an increase in foreign currency resources.

The improvement in these indicators comes despite the economic developments and challenges the world has faced in recent years, supporting the stability of the banking sector and the national economy and strengthening Egypt's ability to deal with external challenges.
