CAIRO – 15 June 2026: Remittances from Egyptians working abroad continued their upward trend, rising by 33.2 percent during the July–April period of FY2025/2026 to reach a record $39.2 billion, compared to around $29.4 billion during the same period of FY2024/2025, according to a report released by the Central Bank of Egypt.
On a monthly basis, remittances increased by 44 percent in April 2026, recording around $4.3 billion, compared to approximately $3 billion in April 2025.
Earlier in June, the Central Bank of Egypt announced that remittances from Egyptians working abroad had recorded a strong increase during the first nine months of FY2025/2026, reaching their highest level for the period.
Remittances rose by 32 percent between July and March of FY2025/2026 to around $34.9 billion, compared to nearly $26.4 billion during the same period of FY2024/2025.
Remittances from Egyptians abroad remain one of the key pillars supporting Egypt’s foreign currency reserves.
Beyond regular financial inflows, these transfers serve as a financial safety net that helps support foreign exchange market stability, meet the country’s financing needs for strategic imports and raw materials, fulfill international obligations, and reduce pressure on the current account deficit.
