Egypt's foreign reserves fell by US$84 million in September, but held above $15 billion for a third straight month after foreign donors began fulfilling promises of aid to the country’s troubled economy.
Net international reserves fell to $15.04 billion at the end of September, from $15.13 billion at the end of August, the Central Bank of Egypt said on its website.
The reserves have plunged by more than half since a popular uprising in January 2011, which scared away tourists and investors, two of the country’s main sources of foreign currency.
