Egypt's chemical, fertilizer exports rise 18% in 4M 2025, Reaching $3.14bn

Egypt's Chemicals and Fertilizers Export Council has reported an 18% year-on-year increase in sector exports during the first four months of 2025, with total exports reaching $3.14bn—up from approximately $2.73bn during the same period in 2024. Fertilizers led the sector's performance, generating $961m in export revenue, followed by plastics and polymers at $723m. Petrochemicals ranked third with $602m but recorded the highest growth among sub-sectors, surging 58% compared to the previous year. Turkey emerged as the top importer, purchasing $437m worth of Egyptian chemical and fertilizer products. It was followed by Italy ($396m), Spain ($187m), and Brazil (around $184m). Regionally, the European Union remained the largest export destination, accounting for 42% of total exports. Arab countries followed with 22%, and Asian markets with 16%. Khaled Abou El Makarem, Chairperson of the Chemicals and Fertilizers Export Council, said the figures reflect the sector's resilience and sustained growth despite global economic and geopolitical challenges. He emphasized the need to enhance the competitiveness of Egyptian products and accelerate market diversification—especially in Africa and Latin America. He added that the upcoming implementation of a new export subsidy rebate program in the second half of 2025 is expected to further stimulate the sector, helping achieve the Council's target of surpassing $9bn in total exports by year-end. Executive Director Mohamed Magid echoed these sentiments, highlighting the sector's strong performance as a testament to its ability to maintain momentum under pressure. He noted that the first-quarter results are a positive indicator of the global competitiveness of Egyptian products, despite ongoing regional conflicts and global economic headwinds that have disrupted fertilizer and petrochemical production worldwide. Magid also underlined the importance of developing industrial value chains and expanding specialized industries to further strengthen Egypt's export capabilities and support the state's broader goals for industrial and trade development.

Union of Arab Banks names Hassan Abdalla ‘Governor of Year 2025'

Hassan Abdalla, Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), has been named 'Governor of the Year 2025' by the Union of Arab Banks. The award was presented during a high-profile ceremony in Paris, on the sidelines of the Arab International Banking Summit, held under the patronage of French President Emmanuel Macron. The award recognises Abdalla's significant contributions to maintaining the stability of Egypt's banking sector, his prudent management of monetary policy, and his active support for economic reform. It also reflects the increasingly prominent status of the Egyptian banking system—both regionally and internationally—and its key role in advancing economic growth and supporting the goals of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The Union of Arab Banks bestows this honour annually on distinguished Arab banking leaders whose achievements have made a lasting impact on the banking sector at both national and regional levels. Abdalla was unanimously selected by the Union's Board of Directors, which includes representatives from 20 Arab countries, during its meeting in December last year. Headquartered in Beirut, the Union of Arab Banks operates as a key regional institution and is a member of the Higher Coordination Committee for Joint Arab Action within the League of Arab States. Its mission is to strengthen ties among Arab banks, foster cooperation, coordinate activities, and promote a shared Arab identity in the financial sector. The Union currently includes over 360 financial and banking institutions across 20 Arab countries, as well as in Europe, Africa, and Turkey. It also counts 16 Arab central banks as observers, alongside several national banking associations. The Union's influence on the regional and global stage has expanded in recent years. Since 2019, it has held special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in New York and Geneva and serves as a supporting member of the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) in Geneva.
