Usually, the CBE issues treasury bills and bonds on behalf of the Ministry of Finance to finance the country's budget deficit. Egypt's budget deficit accounted for six percent of its GDP in the FY2022/2023, according to Minster of Finance Mohamed Maait. The country's debt-to-GDP ratio was estimated at 95.6 percent for FY2022/2023. GDP stood at EGP 9.8 trillion ($318.23 billion) in FY2022/2023. The government has increased its budget deficit estimate to 6.9 percent of GDP for FY2023/2024, which started on 1 July. According to the latest data released by the CBE, Egypt's gross domestic debt reached EGP 4.74 trillion ($153.3 billion) in June 2020. More up-to-date figures showed that the country's external debt increased by 5.1 percent in Q4 of 2022. Egypt is coping with a shortage of US dollar liquidity in the local market and a financing gap estimated at $17 billion through 2026. The country has been increasing its efforts to fulfil its commitments to the IMF under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) loan programme, approved in December 2022. Under the agreement, the government aims to decrease the gross debt-to-GDP ratio to approximately 83 percent by FY2026/27. |
