On the import side, Egypt purchased 54.7 billion dollars’ worth of goods from G20 economies, a 15.2 per cent increase from 2024.

China led the list at $13.9 billion.

Egypt’s largest import groups were electrical and mechanical machinery (9.1 billion dollars), grains (3.5 billion dollars), vehicles and tractors ($3.4 billion), and plastics ($2.5 billion).

Investment ties also strengthened, with G20 investments in Egypt rising to $12.2 billion in the 2024/2025 fiscal year, up from $11.3 billion.
