The Cabinet Media Center published a number of infographics across its platforms, reviewing positive indicators of non-oil exports during the period from January to November 2025.
These indicators reflect the success of the state’s efforts in this area, along with its integrated trade policy, that aimed to support non-oil exports by improving the business environment and opening new markets for Egyptian products, while enhancing competitiveness of the productive sectors globally, which in turn contributed to strengthening Egypt’s trade position abroad and led to a reduction in the trade deficit, which has received widespread international praise for the state’s efforts in this field.
The infographic indicated an increase in the value of non-oil exports by 18.4%, reaching $44.4 billion during the period from January to November 2025, compared to $37.5 billion during the same period in 2024.
This growth contributed to reducing the trade deficit by 11.9%, reaching $30.3 billion during the period from January to November 2025, compared to $34.4 billion during the same period in 2024.
The infographic reviewed the international vision for non-oil exports, whereas Fitch Ratings confirmed that Egypt’s broad industrial base and stability in the exchange rate will support export growth, particularly in heavy industrial products, processed foods, and textiles.
