RIYADH: Egyptian non-oil exports increased by over 17 percent year on year in 2025, reaching approximately $48.6 billion, new figures showed.
Latest foreign trade indicators released by the country’s Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade revealed the trade deficit narrowed by 9 percent over the 12 months, reaching around $34.4 billion, according to a statement.
This supports Egypt’s ambition to enter the global top 50 in trade performance, boost exports to $145 billion a year, and narrow the trade deficit.
It also aligns with the country’s efforts to streamline procedures, maximize the benefits of trade agreements, and protect local industry in line with international agreements.
The newly released data said: “Egyptian gold exports also saw a substantial increase, reaching $7.6 billion in 2025 compared to $3.2 billion in 2024, an increase of $4.4 billion.”
