Egypt's imports of non-monetary raw gold surged 949% year-on-year in April 2026, reaching US$208 million, according to an infographic based on data from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS). The sharp increase compares with imports of approximately US$20 million during the same month in 2025, marking one of the strongest annual gains recorded in the country's gold trade.
The infographic indicates that the rise reflects increased imports of raw gold to support Egypt's domestic jewelry manufacturing industry and expand re-export activities. Officials say the growth underscores the strengthening of the country's gold value chain, enhancing the competitiveness of Egyptian gold products while contributing to industrial production and export-oriented manufacturing.
