The six maritime ports in Egypt’s Suez Canal economic zone are expected to generate revenues up to USD12 billion annually, after the completion of all the planned industrial and commercial projects there. Ahmed Darwish – Head of the Suez Canal Economic Zone Authority – said in a speech at the CEOs conference that kicked off Wednesday in Cairo that his authority seeks to contribute to Egypt’s GDP by administering and developing Egypt's Suez Canal megaprojects. Last November, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi decreed that the area of the Suez Canal Axis Development project has been made an economic zone. (Amwal Al Ghad)
