Egypt's net foreign reserves inched up for the first time since December 2010 to climb to $15.21 billion at the end of April, Egypt's central bank announced on its website on Sunday.

The figure shows a slight increase of $92 million above March’s level of $15.12 million.

Total reserves have depleted at a lower rate over the last two months. They lost $660 million between February and March as opposed to last year's monthly drops of around $2 billion.
