<\/strong> SCZone secures EGP 30 bn long-term facility from CIB: <\/strong>The General Authority of the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) secured a EGP 30 bn long-term financing facility from the Commercial International Bank (CIB) to finance developments and infrastructure works across the authority\u2019s assets, according to a statement<\/a> from the cabinet. The facility \u2014 which features a repayment period of 17 years \u2014 includes the restructuring of a previous EGP 10 bn loan, along with EGP 20 bn in new financing. <\/p>\n

The developments are aimed at \u201chelping attract more global shipping lines to ports on both the Red Sea and the Mediterranean,\u201d SCZone head Walid Gamal El Din said. <\/p>\n

REFRESHER- The zone has big plans ahead:<\/strong> SCZone announced plans to raise its revenues by 20% in FY 2025-26, Gamal El Din said in a statement last month<\/a>. Revenues hit EGP 11.6 bn in the past fiscal year<\/a>, at a growth rate of 38% y-o-y on the back of a surge in investments in industrial zones. <\/p>\n

DATA POINT-<\/strong> As of September, SCZone has attracted<\/a> USD 10.2 bn worth of investments over the past 38 months, spread across 311 agreements for logistics, services, and industrial projects. Chinese flows comprised a major chunk of these investments, with more than USD 4 bn<\/a> in commitments. Egypt is targeting USD 16 bn<\/a> in total Chinese FDI by 2029.<\/p>\n
