In 1913 the Imparts into Egypt from all sources were valued at
£.E. 27,826,881, including £.E. 6,324,219 from ex-enemy countries
^ (Turkey 2,716,320, A us tria-Hungary, 1,940,340, Germany 1,608,881,
Bulgaria 58,678), and £.S. 21,502,662 from other countries. Of the
latter the chief were the following, the values of imports of
merchandise being stated in £.E:- United Kingdom 8,470,443, British
Possessions 1,985,477, France and Algeria 2,576,098, Italy 1,473,033,
Belgium 1,177,998, Russia 890,866, Greece 528,195, U.S.A. 525,160.
Imports from Japan were only £.E. 70,704.
Thus, of imports from other than ex-enemy countries, the share
of the British Empire in 1913, according to the Egyptian accounts, was
48.6 per cent., while in 1919 it was 58.2 per cent. The share of
France was 12 per cent, in 1913 and 5 per cent, in 1919, that of Italy
7 per cent, in 1913 and somewhat over 5 per cent, in 1919. Greece,
U.S.A. and Japan have all increased their share of Egypt's Import
trade, while imports from Belgium and Russia have greatly declined.
The classification of the trade in 1913 does not permit of a
statement precisely parallel to that given above for 1919, but the
following table shows the distribution of the trade by principal
commodities and leading countries.
