Egypt’s foreign exchange reserves rose slightly in February 2026, reaching $52.75 billion, up from $52.59 billion in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 4 March 2026, point to a modest increase of $0.16 billion over the month.
While the month-on-month change is incremental, the continued buildup of reserves may be viewed as a sign of ongoing external stability for Egypt, with the central bank maintaining a solid buffer of foreign currency. Market participants and analysts will be watching subsequent monthly releases to gauge whether this upward trend in reserves can be sustained in the face of domestic and global economic headwinds.
