flag The IMF released $2.3 billion to Egypt, boosting its total draws to $5.2 billion under an $8 billion program, as economic stability improved despite ongoing reform challenges.

flag The IMF has released $2.3 billion to Egypt, including $2 billion from its Extended Fund Facility and $273 million from the Resilience and Sustainability Facility, following successful completion of its fifth and sixth reviews. flag This disbursement brings total draws under the $8 billion program to about $5.2 billion since 2024. flag Egypt’s economy has stabilized, with real GDP growth at 4.4% in FY2024/25, inflation down to 11.9% by January 2026, and the current account deficit narrowing to 4.2% of GDP, supported by remittances, tourism, and foreign investment. flag The IMF credited tight fiscal and monetary policies and exchange rate flexibility for progress but noted uneven structural reforms, particularly in divesting state assets, and ongoing challenges from high public debt and limited fiscal space. flag The program runs through December 2026.
