19% surge in Egypt's non-oil exports during first 10 months of 2025

Egyptian exports continued their upward momentum in October 2025, reaching $3.835 billion, compared to $3.788 billion in October 2024.

This reflects an increase of one percent, equivalent to $47 million, according to a report reviewed by Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Hassan El-Khatib, based on data from the General Organization for Export and Import Control.

In contrast, imports declined during the same month, falling to $7.009 billion, down from $7.280 billion last year. This represents a four percent decrease, equal to $271 million.

From January to October 2025, Egypt’s non-oil exports recorded strong performance, rising by nineteen percent to $40.614 billion, compared to $34.148 billion in the same period of 2024.

This expansion of $6.466 billion was driven by stronger export activity across several key sectors and markets.

The country’s trade deficit also improved significantly during the first ten months of 2025. It narrowed by sixteen percent to $26.322 billion, compared to $31.373 billion in the corresponding period last year.
