42.5% increase in Remittances to Egypt in 2025

CAIRO - 5 January 2026:  The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) reported a significant 42.5 percent increase in remittances sent by Egyptians working abroad between January and November 2025, totaling approximately $37.5 billion, compared to $26.3 billion during the same period the previous year.

In November 2025 alone, remittances saw a 39.9 percent rise, reaching about $3.6 billion, up from $2.6 billion in November 2024.

This growth highlights the ongoing strength of financial inflows from overseas, underlining their vital role in supporting Egypt’s national economy.

In September, the Cabinet's Media Center also revealed that remittances from Egyptians abroad have more than doubled over the last decade, soaring to $36.5 billion in the 2024/2025 fiscal year, up from $17.1 billion in the 2015/2016 fiscal year — a growth of $19.4 billion.

This remarkable performance has been credited to the Central Bank of Egypt’s effective monetary policies, which have stabilized the exchange rate, increased confidence in the economy, and bolstered net international reserves. These factors have enhanced the country's capacity to weather external economic challenges.

Remittance inflows in recent years include $21.9 billion in FY2023/2024, $22.1 billion in FY2022/2023, $31.9 billion in FY2021/2022, and $31.4 billion in FY2020/2021.
