Egypt’s trade with the G20 countries climbed to $70.4 billion in the first nine months of 2025, marking a 14.1 per cent year-on-year increase, according to new data released by the Central Agency for Public Mobilisation and Statistics.

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.
