The current account deficit thus decreased by 13.6% to reach $9.5 billion, compared to $10.9 billion a year earlier. At the same time, the capital and financial account recorded a net inflow of $6.5 billion, according to a statement from the Central Bank of Egypt, published on April 14, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>This improvement is mainly explained by the significant increase of 28.4% in net current transfers, which reached $22.0 billion. This progress was largely driven by the sharp rise in remittances from Egyptians living abroad. Meanwhile, the services balance improved by 20.6%, showing a surplus of $8.9 billion thanks to the combined growth of tourism receipts and Suez Canal transit revenues.<\/p>\n<p>On the financial side, the capital and financial account benefited from net inflows of $6.5 billion. Foreign direct investments reached $9.3 billion, supported by flows recorded between October and December 2025 under the Alam El-Roum agreement, amounting to $3.5 billion. Portfolio investments also rebounded, with net inflows of $5.0 billion, compared to a net outflow of $3.2 billion a year earlier. At the same time, foreign assets of banks increased by $9.7 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these positive developments, the balance of payments showed an overall deficit of $2.1 billion, compared to $502.6 million a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The drivers of the current account improvement<\/p>\n<p>Several factors contributed to the reduction of the current account deficit. Remittances from expatriate workers increased by 29.6% to a record level of $22.1 billion, compared to $17.1 billion previously. Tourism revenues rose by 17.3% to reach $10.2 billion, while Suez Canal revenues increased by 19.0% to $2.2 billion, supported by the increase in tonnage and the number of ships in transit.<\/p>\n<p>Persistent trade imbalances<\/p>\n<p>However, these performances were partially offset by the worsening of the trade deficit. The oil deficit widened by $2.3 billion to reach $8.9 billion, due to the increase in energy imports, which reached $11.6 billion. Meanwhile, oil exports fell to $2.6 billion, despite a slight increase in natural gas exports.<\/p>\n<p>The non-oil trade deficit also increased, reaching $22.8 billion compared to $20.8 billion previously. This evolution reflects the increase in goods imports, particularly vehicles, corn, phones, and soybeans, despite a rise in non-oil exports to $18.3 billion, driven by gold, household appliances, agricultural products, and clothing.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the investment income deficit widened by 8.0% to reach $8.6 billion, due to the increase in investment income payments.<\/p>\n<p>Financial flows dynamics<\/p>\n<p>The capital and financial account was supported by net foreign direct investments of $9.3 billion, mainly in non-oil sectors. Investments in new projects and capital increases generated $6.1 billion, while real estate purchases by non-residents reached $1.0 billion and reinvested earnings amounted to $2.4 billion.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the oil and mining sector recorded a net outflow of $159.5 million, related to the repayment of exploration and development costs.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the decrease in external borrowing resulted in a net repayment of $380.7 million on medium and long-term loans, illustrating a reduced dependence on external financing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egypt&#8217;s external transactions showed a relative improvement during the first half of 2025\/2026 (July-December 2025).
