Egypt’s building material exports growth rises by a record 478% thanks to EGP float

Egypt’s building materials exports grew by a record 478% y-o-y in January to EGP 7.68 bn thanks largely to the effects of the EGP float, Building Material Export Council Chair Walid Gamal El Din tells Al Mal. Egypt’s participation in international expos and trade shows has also been good for business, he adds, and the council has signed a number of export agreements with business delegations from Ghana, Nigeria, and Ethiopia that attended the Cairo International Fair.
