Egypt’s Suez Canal Hit by Attacks, But Strong Growth Offers Buffer
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Egypt’s crucial Suez Canal has taken a hit from recent attacks on ships in the Red Sea, but the country’s finance minister says the blow won’t be too hard thanks to a strong financial cushion.

Mohamed Maait, Egypt’s finance chief, explained that the canal’s income, a major source of revenue for the nation, has indeed been impacted by the attacks. However, he also shared some good news: the impact can be partially absorbed because the canal was performing well before these incidents. In other words, the canal had built up a “rainy day fund” of sorts, thanks to its previous success, allowing it to weather this current storm.

Maait also highlighted another positive development: the government’s increasing reliance on the private sector for project spending. This means the government isn’t solely responsible for funding infrastructure and other initiatives, reducing the burden on its budget. In fact, project spending has actually decreased by 10% in the past seven months, further easing financial pressure.

So, while the attacks are certainly a concern, Egypt seems to be in a good position to handle them. The strong performance of the Suez Canal before the attacks, combined with the government’s shift towards private sector involvement, provides a buffer against the negative effects. This is good news for both Egypt and the global economy, as the Suez Canal is a vital artery for international trade.
