Exports to Arab countries increased from $83 million in first 11 months of 2020 to $235 million in the same period in 2021, recording an increase of 128 per cent, said Egyptian media reports quoting Louise.

Exports of T-shirts and polo shirts increased by 34 per cent from $339 million in first 11 months of 2020 to $445 million in the corresponding period of 2021. Sportswear exports rose 102 per cent to reach $24 million, while trousers exports recorded a 179 per cent increase to reach $49 million.
