Egypt’s trade deficit fell by 16% to USD 26.3 billion in the first ten months of 2025, driven by a strong 19% increase in non-oil exports to USD 40.6 billion. The development reflects an improved external economic position, the effects of the more flexible exchange rate regime in place since March 2024, and solid economic growth. At the same time, the tourism sector is expecting a strong year in 2026, with international arrivals projected to rise by 20%, supported by greater regional stability and a targeted marketing strategy, particularly in China and India.g
