Egypt expects $150 bn to be invested in coastal and Canal zone development projects
As President Sisi inaugurated the expanded Suez Canal in August, all eyes are now on the next phase of the development of Egypt’s economy: The development of the Suez Canal Zone and supporting industries, IQPC media release said.
"With the increased volume of shipping passing through the canal, it is expected that Egypt will now become a top global hub for the transshipment of goods and for the location of value-added services, as new industry establishes itself in the Canal Zone corridor and on Egypt’s coastline," the press release reads.
As part of this process, a total of US$150 billion of investment is expected to take place in the zone in the coming 15 years, together with major projects in Egypt’s coastal areas.
To find out what shape the developments will take and to learn more about them, businesses and government authorities will be brought together at the Coastal and Canal Zone Development Conference, November 17-19. The event venue: Dusit Thani LakeView Cairo, Egypt.
