The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved a $1.2 billion disbursement to Egypt, marking the fourth tranche of its Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program, as announced by the Egyptian cabinet this week. This funding comes as part of an $8 billion, 46-month support package launched in March 2024—an expansion of the initial $3 billion program approved in 2022.
The IMF’s Executive Board finalized the fourth review of Egypt’s reform agenda on March 10, 2025, paving the way for the latest financial release. Alongside this, the IMF also granted Egypt a new arrangement under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), unlocking an additional $1.3 billion aimed at promoting long-term economic sustainability and resilience.
Egypt has been undertaking structural reforms under IMF oversight to combat surging inflation and persistent foreign currency shortages. This latest IMF disbursement is expected to reinforce Egypt’s foreign currency reserves and further support its ongoing reform measures to stabilize the economy.
