The Central Bank of Egypt announced that tourism revenue reached $18.4 billion in fiscal year 2025–2026, up 10.3% from approximately $16.7 billion.
The figures appeared in the central bank’s balance of payments report for the previous fiscal year, which recorded an overall surplus of around $2.8 billion compared with an overall deficit of $2.1 billion, a positive indicator of stability and improvement in the Egyptian economy. The report said tourism receipts were among the factors that limited the widening of the current account deficit, according to the Central Bank of Egypt’s official website.
