Cairo: The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) announced that Egypt's net international reserves have increased to $51.452 billion as of December 2025. These reserves consist of a combination of major global currencies, such as the US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, and Chinese Yuan.

According to State Information Service Egypt, the allocation of Egypt's reserves is influenced by currency exchange rates and their stability in the global market. The distribution is adjusted in line with a strategic plan devised by CBE officials. The reserves, which include gold and various foreign currencies, are vital for ensuring the availability of essential goods and facilitating payments for foreign debt, both principal and interest.

The reserves also provide a safeguard during economic crises, especially when sectors that typically generate hard currency, like exports, tourism, and investments, face disruptions. Despite facing such challenges, other sources of hard currency, including remittances from Egyptians living abroad and stable revenues from the Suez Canal, have contributed to bolstering Egypt's foreign reserves in certain months.
