The traffic navigating on the canal registered a 3, 1% increase in 2017 regarding last year\u2019s same period. As a consequence, the revenues generated from that business has reached 4, 4 billion dollars, a 3, 4% increase.\n\nA Strategic area needs strategic infrastructures\nThe Canal Suez remains one of the most important maritime passages in the world. It is also one of Egypt\u2019s main income and foreign currency sources. That is the reason why Egypt is seeking to reach an extraordinary level in the exploitation of this historical infrastructure by optimizing its economic return. Thus, it will be possible for\u00a0Egypt to better align with trade underlying issues dictated by the growing geopolitical role of the maritime routes in the Mediterranean and Nort Africa (MENA) region, such as the Strait of Hormuz.\u00a0\n\u201cEgypt is proceeding in making the best use of the canal\u2019s distinguished geographic location through carrying out the national development project of the Suez Canal region, which includes the development of six ports and the establishment of complete logistic and industrial zones,\u201d added Mr Mamish.\nIn order to set that new framework and gain more interest from foreign investors, The Suez Canal Economic Zone is expanding in order to include six new maritime ports to be completed by 2045.\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in Egypt :\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n","author":78,"featured_media":3317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5761,5751,2961,5760,5750,5759,5762],"location":[5600],"class_list":["post-27581","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-decision-makers","tag-economy","tag-institutions","tag-mediterranean-exchanges","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-egypt"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"Head of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) Mohab Mamish stated that the government is aiming at attracting more foreign investors by turning the Suez Canal Economic Zone into a strategic business area.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/canal-de-suez.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/canal-de-suez.jpg 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"\u00c9gypte\u00a0: Les recettes du canal de Suez augmentent 2","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.56,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/canal-de-suez.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/canal-de-suez.jpg 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"\u00c9gypte\u00a0: Les recettes du canal de Suez augmentent 2","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.56,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
