Abstract

This paper tries to answer the main question "To what extend logistics cost can affect the market access of Egyptian exports to Nile basin markets?”. The empirical study has been demonstrated using 2005 and 2014 both of exports and logistics costs data from Egypt, in addition to GNP per capita in each trading partner as an indicator for the demand side. The results show that logistics costs have a significant negative relationship with the exports of Egypt to Nile basin countries. Also, there is a positive relationship between GNI per capita in trade partners and Egyptian exports.
