FX.co ★ Egypt’s Foreign Reserves Climb to $56.29B in July, Extending Upward Trend

Egypt’s foreign exchange reserves rose to $56.29 billion in July 2026, up from $55.07 billion in June, according to data updated on 5 August 2026. The increase reflects a continued build-up of the country’s external buffers over the summer period.

The July reading marks a gain of $1.22 billion month-on-month, suggesting sustained inflows or a reduced need for reserve drawdowns compared with June 2026. Market participants often track Egypt’s reserve position as an indicator of its capacity to meet external obligations and support currency stability.

With the latest move, Egypt’s reserves remain on an upward trajectory, potentially providing policymakers with more room to navigate external shocks and maintain confidence among international investors and lenders.
