أعلن وزير المالية المصري أحمد كجوك أن مصر خسرت 145 مليار جنيه من إيرادات قناة السويس في السنة المالية 2024-2025 بسبب اضطرابات البحر الأحمر.
وقال كجوك في مؤتمر صحافي إن بلاده تمكنت من إدارة المالية العامة بمرونة من خلال التعاون والتنسيق مع مختلف الجهات لمواجهة التحديات وتلبية احتياجات المواطنين.
وأوضح أنه تم توجيه نحو 73.4 مليار جنيه للهيئة المصرية للشراء الموحد بنسبة نمو سنوي بلغت 92.4%، بما يضمن سداد مستحقات الشركات والحفاظ على جودة الخدمة داخل المستشفيات والمراكز الصحية.
وأشار كجوك إلى أن الوزارة وفرت نحو 440 مليار جنيه للتعامل مع تحديات قطاع الطاقة، من خلال تدبير المواد البترولية وسداد مستحقات الشريك الأجنبي، ما انعكس بشكل مباشر في انتظام توليد الكهرباء دون انقطاع، وتوفير مصادر الطاقة لمختلف الأنشطة الإنتاجية والاستثمارية.
وكشف كجوك تخصيص 94 مليار جنيه في صورة ضمانات لدعم وتطوير قطاعات النقل وتنفيذ مشروعات محفزة لحركة السلع والتجارة والسياحة، إذ حصلت الهيئة القومية للإنفاق على 74.1 مليار جنيه ضمانات، وحصلت الهيئة القومية لسكك حديد مصر على 13.5 مليار جنيه، بهدف تطوير الخدمات وتحسين جودتها لصالح المواطنين.
وأضاف الوزير: «الحكومة المصرية تعمل على تخفيف الأعباء عن المواطنين والمستثمرين في إطار رؤية متكاملة للنمو والتنمية»، مشيراً إلى تحقيق نتائج مالية إيجابية خلال العام المالي الماضي انعكست على الاقتصاد والمجتمع بالشراكة مع القطاع الخاص.
وأوضح أن المؤشرات الاقتصادية والمالية والاستثمارية تشهد تحسناً ملحوظاً، ما أتاح توجيه موارد إضافية إلى الخدمات الأساسية التي تهم المواطنين، لافتاً إلى أن الحكومة لم تضغط على المصروفات العامة بل رفعت الإنفاق على الصحة والتعليم وبرامج الحماية الاجتماعية والقطاعات الحيوية الأخرى.

Egypt's Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk announced that Egypt lost 145 billion Egyptian pounds in Suez Canal revenues in the fiscal year 2024-2025 due to disturbances in the Red Sea.
Kouchouk stated at a press conference that his country managed public finances flexibly through cooperation and coordination with various entities to face challenges and meet citizens' needs.
He explained that approximately 73.4 billion Egyptian pounds were directed to the Egyptian Unified Procurement Authority, with an annual growth rate of 92.4%, ensuring the payment of companies' dues and maintaining the quality of service within hospitals and health centers.
Kouchouk pointed out that the ministry provided around 440 billion Egyptian pounds to address challenges in the energy sector by securing petroleum materials and paying the dues of the foreign partner, which directly reflected in the regular generation of electricity without interruption and provided energy sources for various production and investment activities.
Kouchouk revealed the allocation of 94 billion Egyptian pounds in the form of guarantees to support and develop the transportation sectors and implement projects that stimulate the movement of goods, trade, and tourism, as the National Authority for Expenditure received 74.1 billion Egyptian pounds in guarantees, and the National Railways Authority of Egypt received 13.5 billion Egyptian pounds, aimed at improving services and enhancing their quality for the benefit of citizens.
The minister added: "The Egyptian government is working to alleviate the burdens on citizens and investors within a comprehensive vision for growth and development," noting the achievement of positive financial results during the past fiscal year, which reflected on the economy and society in partnership with the private sector.
He clarified that economic, financial, and investment indicators are witnessing a noticeable improvement, which allowed for the allocation of additional resources to essential services that concern citizens, emphasizing that the government did not pressure public expenditures but rather increased spending on health, education, social protection programs, and other vital sectors.
