Additionally, the IMF’s executive board approved Cairo’s request for an arrangement under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility, granting Egypt access to approximately $1.3 billion in funding. Cairo had initially sought financing under this facility in 2022.
As part of the latest agreement, Egypt’s fiscal commitments were adjusted, with the country’s primary budget surplus—excluding proceeds from asset sales—expected to reach 4% of GDP in the 2025/26 fiscal year, which begins on July 1, 2025. This figure is 0.5% lower than the initial target set under Egypt’s IMF programme.
