A combined fifth and sixth review of Egypt\u2019s USD 8 bn IMF loan program is <\/strong>expected to conclude in September or October<\/strong>, unlocking a USD 2.5 bn tranche, Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk said<\/a> during his visit to London last week. \u201cBoth sides are working on the expectation that this should be happening in September, October,\u201d he said, adding that \u201cthe IMF is after certain targets \u2014 and that's what is important.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

The IMF is expected to focus heavily on the government\u2019s state asset sales strategy<\/strong>, with authorities now targeting \u201cfew, but key strategic transactions,\u201d he said<\/a>. The Madbouly government wants to conclude up to four sales this fiscal year in the telecom, airport management, and financial services sectors, Kouchouk said, adding that another four sales are expected the following year. <\/p>\n

ICYMI-<\/strong> Earlier this month, the IMF decided<\/a> to combine the fifth and sixth reviews, stating that \u201cmore time is needed\u201d to make progress on the state withdrawing itself from the economy and the broader reform agenda. According to the IMF\u2019s country staff report for the fourth review of our loan program, the combined reviews are scheduled for 15 September<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Some fresh privatization moves? <\/strong>The government aims to complete three to four privatization transactions during the current fiscal year, Kouchouk said. \u201cIt will be across a lot of sectors,\u201d he added, noting that Egypt has shared a strategic, medium-term plan with the IMF and other international partners that includes a \u201cclear, visible timeline.\u201d The IMF said in its report that Egypt expects to receive USD 3 bn in inflows from asset sales during the current fiscal year, up from USD 600 mn last fiscal year, and USD 2.1 bn the year after. <\/p>\n

And brace for more investment:<\/strong> Kouchouk pointed to continued interest from Middle Eastern and European partners across several sectors. \u201cWe are expecting more and more big announcements on the energy, on the renewables, on the tourism, as well as on the real estate and the financial sector,\u201d he said. The IMF is also banking on FDI to help close Egypt\u2019s FY 2025-26 external financing gap, projecting net FDI inflows to reach USD 15.6 bn this fiscal year, up from an estimated USD 13.2 bn in FY 2024-25.<\/p>\n

Fiscal + debt strategy also in the spotlight:<\/strong> Speaking at a panel in London, during his participation in a three-day business mission to the UK \u2014 organized by the British Egyptian Business Association \u2014 Kouchouk said the government is implementing an \u201cintegrated strategy to improve public debt indicators and maintain investor confidence.\u201d He emphasized plans to diversify financing tools and markets tapped, extend debt maturities, and reduce reliance on short-term instruments. <\/p>\n

Balancing the books while supporting growth:<\/strong> Kouchouk added that the government is managing public finances \u201cwith balance,\u201d maintaining fiscal sustainability while supporting economic activity and upping investments in human development and social safety nets. Fiscal performance, he said, \u201csignificantly improved\u201d last year, enhancing Egypt\u2019s resilience to global and regional shocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
