Egypt's non-oil exports experienced a significant increase of 17.8% year-on-year during the first eight months of 2025, reaching a total of $32.9 billion compared to $27.9 billion in the same period last year, according to official data released on Wednesday.
This growth was largely driven by higher exports of building materials, chemicals, fertilizers, engineering products, and ready-made garments, which collectively accounted for the majority of the increase. Notably, exports of building materials surged by 45%, amounting to $9.7 billion, while exports of chemicals and fertilizers rose by 10% to reach $6 billion.
The performance of non-oil exports has been a focal point for the Egyptian government as it aims to reduce the trade deficit, attract foreign currency inflows, and strengthen the country's manufacturing and industrial sector amid global economic uncertainty.
