Egypt's non-oil imports declined to $18.805bn during the January-April 2020 period, compared to the same period in 2019, according to the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS).
The latest figures reflect a 21.1% decrease on the $23.864bn reported for non-oil imports during the same period in 2019.
In a statement on Thursday, CAPMAS said the value of food imports during the January-April 2020 period amounted to $3.715bn. This reflects a 22.6% decrease on the $4.802bn reported for the same period in 2019.
The agency said that China, one of the most important importers of Egyptian goods, recorded imports amounting to $3.080bn against the $4.126m reported in the same period last year. This was followed by the US, that recorded imports amounting to $1.373bn against $1.869m. Germany came in third, with imports amounting to $1.182bn compared to the $1.422bn in the same period of last year. followed by Brazil, with imports from Egypt amounting to $445m against $876m in the same period last year. Italy reported imports amounting to $783m compared to $1.093m, while Turkey came in last with imports of $999m, falling from $1.006m.

This decrease is due to the decrease in exports of raw materials, which amounted to $948m in the period from January to April 2020 against $961m in the same period in 2019. More raw materials were directed to local manufacturing instead of exporting them for a weak fee. This lead to an increase in local production and covering local market needs for Egyptian products, as opposed to encouraging cash reserve draining imports.
