Iran War Fallout May Force Egypt into New IMF Bailout

What's Happening

The economic spillover from the Iran war is straining Egypt's economy, leading to $8 billion in capital flight and surging inflation.

Despite recent macroeconomic improvements, the disruption of energy imports and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have forced the government to implement unpopular austerity measures, such as fuel price hikes and business curfews.

While officials claim current reserves are sufficient, reports suggest Cairo is already weighing a new $1.5 billion to $3 billion emergency loan to stabilize the country.

What Comes Next

Egypt will likely resist a new IMF program to avoid mandatory privatization and further subsidy cuts that risk domestic unrest.

However, if conflict protracts and the Gulf allies—facing their own economic pressures— cannot provide enough support, Cairo may be forced to accept a deal by late 2026.

Expect continued fiscal consolidation and potential price hikes on public services as the government struggles to manage $30 billion in debt servicing obligations.
