The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) has revealed that the total value of Egypt’s exports decreased 6.4% to $28.0bn in 2020, compared to $30.0bn in 2019. 

These exports travelled to a number of areas, including: the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA); the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD); the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA); the Group of 15 (G-15); the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA); and the D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation (Developing-8). 

CAPMAS said that GAFTA received the majority of Egypt’s exports, with a value of $9.8bn in 2020 compared to $10.1bn in 2019, reflecting a decrease of 3.5%.

This was followed by ESCWA, which saw a 4.1% on the 2019 figure of $8.4bn, reaching a total value of exports of $8bn. The COMESA area came last with the total value of exports amounting to $2.0bn in 2020, compared to $2.2bn in 2021, reflecting a decrease of 8.2%.

With a decrease of 10.7%, the CEN-SAD area came in last place, as the total value of imports amounted to $0.8bn, compared to $0.9bn, a decrease of 15.3%.

CAPMAS added that the total value of Egypt’s exports to international groups that do not include Egypt, decreased by 20.7% to $10.5bn in 2020, compared to $13.3bn in 2019. 

These areas are namely: the European Union (EU); the European Free Trade Association (EFTA); the North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA); ASEAN; and MERCOSUR.
