Egypt’s Trade With African Union Countries Rises 11.8%

The value of trade between Egypt and African Union countries rose by 11.8%, according to the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics.

The agency released a press statement today outlining economic relations between Egypt and countries belonging to the continental bloc.

The increase relates to the value of trade exchanged, rather than the volume of goods traded. The available summary did not specify the reporting period or the period used for comparison.

The summary also did not provide the total value of trade, a breakdown of exports and imports, or figures for individual trading partners.
