Egypt’s Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) revealed, on Monday, that French investments in Egypt increased 17.9% during fiscal year (FY) 2019/20.

The increase meant that the investments were recorded at $349m compared to $296.1m during FY 2018/19. 

The value of trade exchange between Egypt and France recorded $2.2bn in 2020 compared to $2.4bn in 2019, a decrease of 6.9%.

This came as the value of Egyptian exports to France reached $530.5m in 2020 compared to $654.3m during the year 2019, reflecting a decrease of 18.9%. 

Meanwhile, the value of Egyptian imports from France recorded $1.70bn in 2020 compared to $1.75bn in 2019, a decrease of 2.4% due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which affected global trade.

Meanwhile, other Egyptian exports to France saw: clothing account for $40.6m, plastics account for $38.3m, essential oils account for $14.5m, vegetables and plants account for $13.4m, fruits account for $10.2m, glass account for $8.9m, and aluminium account for $8.3m.

Pharmaceutical products ranked first on the list of the 10 most important commodity groups that Egypt imported from France during the year 2020. 

Whilst their imports amounted to $290.5m, cereals ranked second for $207.5m, followed by cars, tractors, bicycles and parts with $166m. Additionally, boilers and machinery accounted for $150.1m, electrical appliances accounted for $108.7m, and various chemical products accounted for $100.9m.

Meanwhile, plastics accounted for $64.7m, organic chemical products accounted for $64.2m, milk and products, eggs, and honey accounted for $54.3m, whilst fuel, mineral oils and products of their distillation accounted for $49.8m.

The value of remittances sent back to the country by Egyptians working in France amounted to $112.8m during FY 2018/19, compared to $129.1m during FY 2017/18, reflecting a decrease of 12.6%. 

Meanwhile, the value of remittances of French workers in Egypt recorded $11.6m in FY 2018/19 compared to $7m during FY 2017/18, an increase of 65.7%.
