This comes on the back of expanding growth in EGP-denominated loans to the private sector since Q3 2024, which came following six consecutive quarters of negative real growth rates in local currency loans, the CBE added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And real GDP growth is expected to continue to climb<\/strong>, forecast at 4.3% in the current fiscal year and 4.8% in the following fiscal year, up from 2.4% in FY 2023-24. This would mark a gradual recovery from the \u201csubdued spell of economic activity during the past two fiscal years,\u201d the bank said. The recovery in growth was largely attributed to increased contributions of real net exports and gross domestic investments \u2014 both of which were aided by the exchange rate unification that came with the CBE\u2019s decision to float the EGP back in March 2024. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cThe expected recovery is mainly due to the rebound of manufacturing economic activity<\/strong> as shown by leading indicators, reflecting the positive impact of the unification of the foreign exchange markets on the ability of firms to import requisite raw materials and intermediate goods for the production processes,\u201d the CBE wrote. The bank added that \u201cgrowth will be supported by an expected improvement in the contribution of the extractions sector, as various successful onshore and offshore discoveries are projected to revive Egypt\u2019s production of crude oil and natural gas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt\u2019s ability to finance its external funding needs is also in good shape<\/strong>, with the narrowing current account deficit helping drive a surplus in our balance of payments, which reflected Egypt\u2019s ability to finance its external funding needs, according to the CBE. Surging remittances helped Egypt finance its external funding needs, along with the narrowing of the net investment income deficit, which helped offset the effects of a widening trade deficit and a declining services surplus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bank expects inflation to continue declining for the remainder of this year and through 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":665638,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7206],"tags":[271,104,72],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-665637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","tag-central-bank-of-egypt","tag-economy","tag-enterpriseam","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"c610db2d-5b81-4404-9cd0-e1ad5ff91b1c","order":"8","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2024\/11\/2177.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"CBE expects inflation to decelerate, growth to accelerate in latest Monetary Policy Report","related_issue":[665623],"teaser":"The bank expects inflation to continue declining for the remainder of this year and through 2026","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2025\/5\/.9b746497-b29f-4b0e-96c3-d33de1bd04ec.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
