Over the three months foreign holdings fell from almost USD 28 bn to just USD 10.4 bn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The money soon came roaring back:<\/strong> Holdings more than doubled in the following five months to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/3337ffd0-2efd-4abc-bc91-2adad57554aa\">hit USD 21.1 bn<\/a> by mid-October.

The growth upgrade compares with the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/c7268a5b-a6d2-48a8-b108-8110d3f0e58e\">most recent expectation<\/a> of 2.8-3.5% and comes after the release of 1H2020 fiscal data. The minister <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8f51fda6-90fd-4d82-83c1-05f59a067630\">told Enterprise last week<\/a> that GDP figures and budget targets for FY2020-2021 would be amended in line with the data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The projected overall deficit is now expected to come in at 7.9%<\/strong>, up from the 6.3% <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/c0557143-d132-4f80-a888-edd3c67085c5\">originally penciled into the budget<\/a>, while the primary surplus is expected to come in at EGP 35-40 bn, less than a third of the EGP 130 bn target in the budget.
