Egypt is “cautiously optimistic” a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will eventually translate into a recovery in Suez Canal revenue, which fell at least 60% due to the war, the country’s minister for foreign trade and investment said.
“It’s not going to be an immediate switchback to the Suez Canal as we envisage,” said Egypt’s Hassan El Khatib in an interview with Bloomberg Television at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday. “We will study it and we will talk to shipowners.”
