Egypt said on Saturday that it expects to receive a $1.7 billion package from the European Union within days.
It would be the first of two remaining tranches of a $5.7 billion macro-financial assistance package.
Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said Cairo hoped the last payment would be transferred by the start of autumn.
The assistance package has become a cornerstone of Europe’s strategy to stabilise one of Africa’s largest economies.
Brussels increasingly views Egypt as a strategic partner amid its role in managing migration routes, its influence in regional conflicts, and Red Sea disruptions.
