In line with the efforts of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) and the broader financial sector, Egypt’s financial inclusion rate rose to 77.6% in 2025. Active accounts include bank accounts, Egypt Post accounts, mobile wallets and prepaid cards. Core indicators issued by the CBE’s Financial Inclusion Datahub highlight significant progress in broadening access to financial services. In line with the CBE’s evidence-based approach to achieving its strategic vision, work is currently under way to formulate the Second Financial Inclusion Strategy (2026-2030). The achievements of the First Financial Inclusion Strategy (2022-2025) reflect Egypt’s commitment to positioning financial inclusion as a cornerstone of economic and social development.
