Suez Canal revenues likely to fall to $3.6bln in FY2024/25: IMF
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expected the Suez Canal revenues to drop to $3.6 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2024/2025, compared to $6.6 billion at the end of FY2023/2024, according to a report. The IMF projected the Suez Canal revenues to recover over the coming years and hit $6.3 billion in FY2025/2026, $8.2 billion in FY2026/2027, and $11.9 billion in FY2029/2030. In the IMF report on the fourth review, the fund elaborated that trade disruptions in the Red Sea since December 2023 reduced foreign exchange inflows from the Suez Canal by $6 billion in 2024. Meanwhile, transit trade volumes remained at about a third of pre-conflict levels, with further negative spillovers to growth and fiscal revenues. In March, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi revealed that Egypt incurs monthly losses estimated at nearly $800 million in Suez Canal revenue due to the current situation in the region. During the third quarter (Q3) of FY2024/2025, the Suez Canal activity plummeted by 23.1% year on year (YoY). © 2020-2023 Arab Finance For Information Technology. All Rights Reserved.
