Egypt's net foreign reserves rose to US$16.564 billion at the end of August, the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) said on Sunday.
Reserves stood at $15.536 billion at the end of July.
Egypt had roughly $36 billion in reserves before an uprising in 2011 overthrew Hosni Mubarak.
That ushered in a period of political turmoil that scared away tourists and foreign investors, key sources of foreign exchange.
