Monthly inflows also increased by 39.9 per cent to $3.6 billion in November 2025, compared to approximately $2.6 billion in November 2024, according to the data.
Remittances have continued to show an upward trajectory throughout the year, making them one of Egypt’s main sources of foreign currency, alongside tourism and the Suez Canal revenues, as well as foreign direct investment, helping foreign reserves, easing pressure on the balance of payments and maintain sustainble economic growth.
The biggest contributor to this growth is a set of corrective measures introduced by the CBE in March 2024, which included a six percent interest rate hike, to contain high levels of inflation, restore the stability of prices of goods and services in the local market, and bolster hard currency liquidity to improve the inflow of remittances.
Inflows reached $10.02 billion in the second quarter of 2025, up from $9.37 billion in the first quarter, showing continued momentum despite global economic volatility.
