RIYADH: Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone generated a record 15.9 billion Egyptian pounds ($314 million) in revenue during fiscal year 2025/26, up 37 percent from a year earlier and 51 percent above budget.
Dollar-denominated revenue rose 44 percent year on year to $246 million, accounting for 76 percent of total revenue, while income generated in local currency increased 21 percent to 3.8 billion pounds, representing the remaining 24 percent, the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone said in a statement.
The record performance comes as the SCZone continues to strengthen its position as a regional industrial and logistics hub under Egypt’s broader economic development strategy.
In an official post on Facebook, the authority said: “The fiscal year 2025/2026 witnessed a significant shift in the authority’s revenue structure, with the contribution of other activities and industrial zones, excluding ports, rising to 19 percent of total revenues, compared to a previous average of 8 percent.”
It added: “This increase was driven by a growth rate exceeding that of port revenues, which accounted for 81 percent of total revenues, down from 92 percent previously. This reflects the success of the authority’s efforts to diversify its revenue streams.”
