Egypt's non-petroleum trade deficit has reached 7.5 billion U.S. dollars in the second quarter (Q2) of 2023, showing a 10.7 percent dip from the same period last year, said the Egyptian cabinet on Tuesday.

It said in a media release that the decrease in non-petroleum import value was behind the decline of the trade deficit, adding that non-oil imports value has dropped to 15.9 billion dollars in 2023 from 17.6 billion dollars in 2022.

China served as the most important non-oil trade partner with Egypt in Q2 in terms of trade volume, followed by the United States, Türkiye, Italy, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.
