Net foreign assets refer to the difference between banks’ assets owed by non-residents and their liabilities owed to non-residents.
The new surplus reflects the country’s rapid recovery from previous deficits, which almost reached a high of $30 billion earlier this year, exacerbated by external economic challenges

According to the latest data by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), net foreign liabilities rose to LE 2,287 billion in July, compared to LE 2,275 billion in June
Egypt's NFAs deficit surged by LE 536.2 billion ($17.33 billion) month-on-month (m-o-m) in March 2023
