The study reached, through the used approach, which is the quantitative approach, by predicting using the ARIMA model, to a number of results, the most important of which is that the growth rate of Egyptian exports to the countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) during the period (2022-2030) amounted to about 14.13%, while the countries of the Common Market for Eastern bloc and South Africa (COMESA) amounted to about 7.85%, and the countries of the East African Community (EAC) amounted to about 18.57%. On the other hand, the growth rate of Egyptian imports from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) bloc countries reached about 12.04%, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) bloc countries reached about 17.74%, and the East African Community (EAC) bloc countries reached about 2.78%. The study recommended the need to open markets for Egyptian products or commodities in the three African blocs, given the presence of a large number of consumers in those markets, which represents an increase in demand for Egyptian products. | ||||
