CORRECTION- We had picked up an incorrect report from the domestic press last week claiming that Egypt’s non-oil exports rose 7% y-o-y in 9M2018 to USD 16.6 bn. Exports actually rose 11% y-o-y during the period to reach USD 18.5 bn compared to USD 16.6 bn during the same period last year, according to a Trade Ministry statement (pdf). We’ve fixed the mistake on our web edition.
