Egypt is not seeking a new financing arrangement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) once its current program expires later this year, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said on Thursday, 4 June, during a cabinet meeting. Addressing reporters after the Cabinet’s weekly meeting, Madbouly said cooperation with the IMF remains on track and that the existing program is expected to conclude in December without the need for immediate negotiations on a successor agreement. The Prime Minister used the briefing to outline key economic priorities for the coming fiscal year, including a package of tax breaks and property-related incentives aimed at attracting new investment and supporting private-sector activity. The government hopes the measures will encourage both local and international businesses to expand operations in Egypt. Madbouly pointed to recent economic indicators as evidence of resilience, noting that growth has reached 5.3 percent despite continued geopolitical tensions across the region. He also highlighted the relative stability of Egyptian debt markets, arguing that investor confidence has remained intact even during periods of heightened regional conflict. The government’s new budget will place greater emphasis on social services and industrial development, according to Madbouly.

A senior Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo on Friday 5 June for a new round of talks with Egyptian mediators aimed at advancing the Gaza ceasefire agreement and discussing a possible transition to its next phase. The delegation, led by Hamas Gaza chief Khalil Al-Hayya, is expected to hold meetings with Egyptian officials and other mediators over several days. Discussions are expected to focus on completing the implementation of the first phase of the ceasefire, addressing reported violations of the agreement, and exploring mechanisms for moving toward a second phase. The talks come amid continued tensions in Gaza despite the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that took effect in October 2025. Key issues remain unresolved, including Hamas’ future role, calls by Israel for the group’s disarmament, and questions surrounding Israeli military withdrawals from parts of the enclave. Negotiations on these issues have remained stalled for months. Meanwhile, violence has continued on the ground. On 4 June, Gaza health officials reported that at least 10 Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes, including five members of the same family. Several others were injured in attacks on residential buildings in Gaza City. TheContinue reading "Gaza Ceasefire Talks Resume in Cairo"
