In a statement on Tuesday, Chairperson of the Readymade Garments Export Council of Egypt (RMGEC) Mary Lewis said that the US tops the list of countries importing from Egypt with $379 million  during the first quarter of 2022.

 

The clothes exports increased by 37 percent in the Arab countries during the first quarter of 2022 to record $67 million, she said.
