In a significant development, Egypt has experienced a notable 25.5% decrease in the import of crucial raw materials including iron, steel, and iron ore during the period of January to September 2023. The drop, totaling $4.163 billion, suggests shifting dynamics in the country's industrial and economic landscape. Despite a slight uptick in iron ore and concentrates imports, reaching $1.226 billion, these materials collectively accounted for 6.8% of Egypt's imports, which amounted to $61.37 billion. The September data shows a general increase in imports by 6%, totaling $517.6 million, but imports of iron ore and concentrates specifically recorded a 29.4% decrease, reaching $128.021 million. This decline prompts a closer examination of the contributing factors and potential implications for Egypt's industries reliant on these vital raw materials.
