SUEZ CANAL
ECONOMIC ZONE
In developing THE SUEZ CANAL ZONE we have listened to our
partners
he Suez Canal Zone represents a new chapter in the econ om ic d e ve lo p m e n t o f
Egypt. Created under Law No. 83 o f 2002 and as am ended in 2015, the Suez Canal
Zone is governed by the General A u thority for the Suez Canal Econom ic Zone: an
autonom ous body w ith executive powers o f regulation and approval including the
full authority to oversee all areas o f operation, staffing, control over budgets, funding,
deve lop m en t o f partnerships w ith developers and business facilitation services.
T
he Suez Canal Zone w ill apply a new investor friendly business enviro nm ent th a t
w ill be a blueprint for future developm ent nationally. There w ill be a genuine
one stop shop w ith all critical elem ents deployed. Simple declarative investm ent
registration systems w ith stream lined investm ent approvals, granting o f im p o rt and
e xp o rt licenses as well as accelerated on-site customs inspection procedures w ill be
available. Similarly, secondary perm its and authorizations relating to land, building,
labor, health and safety w ill be addressed directly by the Suez Canal Zone auth o rity
whose efficiency w ill be enhanced by partnerships w ith key stakeholders including
gove rnm en t ministries, private sector representatives, be it developers or investors in
th e zone, or affected com m unities and com m u nity groups and certainly international
developm ent partners.
T
he Suez Canal Zone w ill n o t ju st help first-tim e investors; it w ill supp ort com panies
to expand and grow more, and therefore create the thousands o f jobs th a t w ill
p u t Egyptian people into productive work.

Investment Opportunities
PORTS, LOGISTICS & MARITIME-RELATED ACTIVITIES
At present, there are a total of 6 ports under the SCZone Project, ports presented tire
opportunity to leverage higher economic benefits from the region's location,
there is new new drive and focus for further port development which provides a platform for
increased mdusii ial development, as well as other maritime related so vices.
While the region already hosts a number o f sea ports, which allow for some benefit from
this maritime traffic to spill over into the local economy, there is potential for the region to
derive much greater return through Increased capacity to handle large vessels and by offering
additional services. Further, the SCZone provides opportunities for the development of
adjoining industrial and logistics areas to create fully integrated business hubs.
Under the SCZone, this potential will be realised through large-scale expansions of the two
gateway ports at East Port Said and Sokhna to allow them to handle present and future
generation container vessels. Such expansions also bring the opportunity for enhanced
port automation and next generation container handling equipment to consolidate the
competitiveness o f these ports.
Logistics in particular, play a critical role in strengthening ties between the domestic and global
market and facilitating the movement of goods in and our of the region. Dry port projects at
Ismailia and I Oth Ramadan will be vital to boosting the region's logistical capacity. Meanwhile
new transport linkages - including a new expressway and freight railway connecting East Port
Said to 10th Ramadan - will reduce the time, and cost, o f moving freight.
Tiiere is also scope to develop the services and activities offered to vessels passing through
the region - this encompasses stevedoring, bunkering, ship repairs and ship building. In
developing plansfor these activities,the SCZone has adopted a long-term view in safeguarding
capacity for future growth and expansion.
