Egypt's revenue from the Suez Canal plunged sharply in 2024

In 2024, Egypt experienced a significant drop in its Suez Canal revenues, a development that’s raised concerns both regionally and globally. As one of the world’s most important maritime passages, the Suez Canal has long been a vital source of income for Egypt, funneling billions into the country’s economy each year. However, this year told a different story, with revenue numbers plunging sharply. The reasons behind the drastic fall are multifaceted, with many pointing to ongoing regional instability and global economic shifts impacting transit volume. As fewer ships passed through the canal, Egypt’s earnings took a major hit, tightening economic conditions domestically. For companies watching global trade patterns, this change in Suez Canal traffic is something to examine closely.
