Egypt’s foreign debt rose to $96.6 billion by the end of 2018, up16.5 percent from the previous year, central bank figures showed on Wednesday.
In December 2017, Egypt’s foreign debt stood at $82.9 billion.
Egypt’s net foreign reserves stood at $44.218 billion at the end of April, having climbed since the country secured a $12 billion three-year International Monetary Fund loan in 2016 as part of efforts to boost the economy.
