CAIRO, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) Sales in several economic sectors in Egypt, including textile, gold and real estates, have been negatively affected by the lingering COVID-19 pandemic. The production of winter clothes has dropped by 50 percent compared to the previous season, which impacted the sales of the ready-made clothes market, said Mohamed Abdel-Salam, chairman of the Egyptian Chamber for textile Industries.
The textile sector has been affected to a great extent by the spread of the pandemic, Abdel-Salam told Xinhua, noting that people s reluctance to leave their houses and willingness to stick to the precautionary measures is a major cause of the accumulation of goods in stores and warehouses.
