The Bank’s message states that "profits from tourism... reached $10.7 billion, up from $4.9 billion in fiscal year 2020-2021."
The Central Bank reports that due to an exceptional rise in commodities imports (by 53%), improved tourism, and increased revenue from ship transit through the Suez Canal, Egypt's current account deficit decreased by 10.2% to $16.6 billion.
The bank reports that a large increase in petroleum product exports—totaling $9.4 billion—and rising gas supplies, particularly those to new markets like Turkey, Italy, France, Spain, Croatia, and Greece—have resulted in an oil trade balance of $4.4 billion.
According to earlier information from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, 50.6% of all visitors to Egypt in 2021 were from Eastern Europe. Eight million visitors visited Egypt in total in 2021, compared to only 3.7 million in the "pandemic" year of 2020.
