Egypt is expecting to rake in $3.5 billion in revenues from the Suez Canal during the first half of 2022, according to Osama Rabie, the chairman of the Suez Canal authority.
Revenues from the canal have increased by around 23 percent in May 2022, compared to the year earlier, to reach $657 million.
Rabie attributed the high revenues to the growth of the global economy, the continued recovery of global trade, pricing policy and the Canal’s fee rise.
