Egypt’s Foreign Cash Reserves Up To US$ 15.4 Bln

Egypt’s foreign cash reserves rose by US$ 441 million, registering US$ 15.483 billion at the end of last October, compared to US$ 15.042 billion at the end of last September.

The foreign cash reserves climbed to the highest level since last year’s revolution. Egypt lost more than US$ 20 billion in the last 22 months, registering US$ 15.4 billion at the end of last October, compared to US$ 35 billion.

A number of bankers attributed such increase to the US$ 500 million loan which Turkey offered to Egypt at the end of last month.
