Additionally, non-oil exports have increased by 12% since last year and now stand at $35.2 billion.
During a meeting, the cabinet said that the Egyptian economy is showing “positive” changes thanks to the government of Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli.
Egyptian Minister of Petroleum Tarek El-Mulla said that oil exports reached $7 billion in 2022, compared to $12.9 billion a year earlier.
According to Mulla, this was a “big jump.”
