2026.10.1212:01:36UTC+00Egypt’s Current Account Deficit Widens to $23M in Q2 2026

Egypt’s current account deficit widened in the second quarter of 2026, with the balance slipping to -$23 million from -$15 million in the first quarter of the year. The latest figure underscores a modest deterioration in the country’s external position over the period.

The previous reading for the first quarter of 2026, at -$15 million, had suggested a relatively contained imbalance, but the fresh data for the second quarter points to increased pressure on the current account. The shift, while not dramatic in absolute terms, may reflect evolving dynamics in Egypt’s trade, income, or transfer flows over the quarter.

The updated figures, released on 12 October 2026, will likely feed into market assessments of Egypt’s external stability and could inform policy discussions on how to address the widening deficit in the coming quarters.
