Egypt’s exports from Qualifying Industrial Zones (QIZ) rose 17% to USD 878 mn in 2018, up from USD 751 mn in 2017, a source from the Trade Ministry’s QIZ unit said. Some 93% of QIZ exports were textiles and readymade garments. Egypt has exported USD 9.7 bn-worth of products enjoying no-tariff access to the US, provided they meet a minimum required amount of Israeli content, since we signed the agreement in 2004.
