In 2021 to 2025, the trade volume between Saudi Arabia and Egypt surpassed $82.2 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.66 percent. The data, compiled by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT), highlights the robustness of the bilateral trade relations. In 2025 alone, the trade volume increased by 11 percent compared to 2024, reaching approximately $18.1 billion.
Egypt ranks as Saudi Arabia's third-largest trading partner worldwide, underlining the significance of their economic and commercial ties. The primary Saudi exports to Egypt are plastics and related articles, as well as organic chemicals. On the other hand, Egypt imported mineral fuels, oils and waxes, along with copper and related items from Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Commercial Attaché in Egypt plays a pivotal role in deepening the trade relations between the two nations. They aid in facilitating Saudi exports' access to the Egyptian market and encourage Egyptian investments into Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the General Authority of Foreign Trade (GAFT) in Saudi Arabia is actively working to bolster Saudi Arabia's trade and investment relationships with international partners and target markets, aligning with its strategic goals.
It also extends technical support to the private sector, optimizing their advantages from trade agreements and concessions in other countries.
GAFT's mission is twofold; it seeks to augment Saudi Arabia's global trade revenues and safeguard its foreign trade interests, thereby contributing to the overall growth of the national economy.
