Egypt recorded its highest-ever monthly inflow of U.S. dollars in July 2025, reaching a staggering $8.5 billion, as announced by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly. This figure, which excludes volatile “hot money” investments, reflects robust economic confidence and includes a notable contribution from remittances—Egyptians working abroad sent over $3.6 billion in July alone.
The surge in inflows followed reforms such as the liberalization of the exchange rate and broader economic stabilization measures. These have helped strengthen Egypt’s foreign currency reserves and support the pound amid rising investor confidence. He remembered that Egyptian remittances had reached their lowest levels during the period Egypt had a dual exchange rate.
