The research aims to identify the role of economic and environmental policies in the development of foreign trade in its broad concept to judge its effectiveness and develop appropriate policies and mechanisms to improve its efficiency in a way that ensures the development of exports and the reduction of unnecessary imports. The problem of the study was identified in the variation and overlap of the impact of financial and environmental policies on Egyptian foreign trade and its development, which includes increasing exports and reducing unnecessary imports, which increases the difficulty of determining the effective role of these policies on Egyptian foreign trade and then judging their effectiveness and ability to implement their goals in developing Egyptian foreign trade. The study concluded that the total impact of economic and environmental variables on export development in its broad sense amounted to about 63%, of which about 32% were for economic variables and about 34% for environmental variables, indicating a relative convergence between the impact of environmental and economic variables. As for the role of economic and environmental policies in rationalizing imports in its broad sense, it was found that the total impact of economic and environmental variables on rationalization in its broad sense amounted to about 42%, of which about 21% were for economic variables and about 21% for environmental variables.
