Abstract

Digital transformation is a topic that has garnered significant attention from both developed and developing countries, particularly concerning its impact on exports and revenues within the scope of foreign trade. Our research aims to demonstrate the extent of digital transformation's impact on the structure of foreign trade, based on the hypothesis that digital transformation has a positive effect on the structure of foreign trade in Egypt. The research reached several conclusions, the most important of which is the confirmation of the research hypothesis that digital transformation has a positive impact on the structure of foreign trade in Egypt during the period (2004-2026). Furthermore, the research presented several recommendations, the most important of which is the necessity of creating a suitable infrastructure for this global phenomenon that Egypt is witnessing in the 21st century.

Keywords: Digital transformation; trade structure; Egypt.
