Egyptian officials are making plans to open a newly-expanded Suez Canal on August 6. Officials say the "new" canal will more than double the waterway’s earnings over the next 10 years. But some experts say the project alone will not be able to turn around Egypt’s economy.
Experts say the success of the canal will depend largely on the health of the world’s shipping industry. They say that is something Egypt cannot control. And they say even if the expanded canal is successful, it won’t improve the lives of average Egyptians.   People in Egypt are facing rising poverty rates and prices. The economy is slowly recovering from recent financial and political unrest. Egypt is a large, complex country with a very big population. It is highly unlikely that it is going to be able to live off the kinds of incomes it will get—even from two canals. The costs of governing Egypt are very large. It has major debt problems.
