Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk.
The figures show that the government collected EGP 2.625 trillion in revenues over the fiscal year, while total expenditures rose to EGP 3.8 trillion, reflecting sustained fiscal pressures as the state seeks to support growth, social welfare, and debt servicing.
He noted that external debt declined slightly by $4 billion over the year, from $79.1 billion in June 2024 to $78.6 billion in June 2025.

Other measures included treating 80,000 critical cases from vulnerable families in coordination with the Ministry of Health, and allocating EGP 7.4 billion for health insurance programmes and essential medicines.
Additionally, the Egyptian Unified Procurement Authority received EGP 73.4 billion — a 92.4 percent annual increase — to help settle companies’ dues and maintain service quality in hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Education spending grew 20.1 percent, including EGP 4 billion to hire 160,000 part-time teachers, EGP 6.9 billion for school textbooks, EGP 500 million for pre-university education incentives, and EGP 7.2 billion for meal programmes serving 15.6 million students.
Housing, agriculture, and energy

Agricultural subsidies included EGP 57.6 billion for local wheat, EGP 60.2 billion for imported wheat, EGP 7.2 billion for cotton, and EGP 11.2 billion to settle sugarcane farmers’ dues — totalling more than EGP 136 billion.
Energy received EGP 440 billion to secure petroleum supplies, stabilize electricity output, and settle obligations to foreign partners.
Kouchouk said these measures ensured stable power generation, uninterrupted supply, and reliable energy for production and investment sectors.
The government also issued EGP 94 billion in guarantees for transport networks, including EGP 74.1 billion for the National Authority for Tunnels and EGP 13.5 billion for the Egyptian National Railways.
