00:00 In the last year, we have contracted with more than 50 projects.
00:05 We are talking about investment of more than 3 billion dollars.
00:13 We are talking about a port and industrial areas, both of which are connected.
00:17 So, in a year, we have achieved 50 final projects,
00:21 and we have 50 other projects that are in the initial stages of completion.
00:29 Finally, we have 50 new construction licenses in the economic areas.
00:35 These are the factories that are being built in the economic areas.
00:38 So, the last year has been very good.
00:42 It was in the ports and industrial areas.
00:45 This is the advantage of the economic areas, the integration between the industrial areas and the ports.
00:50 How much is the total investment in the area of the Suez Canal in the United States?
00:54 The initial number was 18 billion dollars, but with these investments,
00:59 there will be a bigger number than that, but I don't know the number.
01:04 It is average, it was 21 billion dollars now.
01:08 What are the most prominent sectors?
01:10 The chemical sector, drugs,
01:15 the textile industry, the cement industry, and of course, the maritime services.
01:24 The ship insurance, which we recently added,
01:27 was with the drilling fuel or the green fuel, the green methanol recently.
01:32 This will help a lot to attract more ships to the Suez Canal,
01:37 and therefore, the direct return to the Suez Canal will increase.
01:41 We will talk about the green fuel, the green hydrogen,
01:44 and we would like to know the size of the green hydrogen investments,
01:47 and the number of agreements that went from the framework of the agreement memorandum to the implementation.
01:52 The number of agreement memorandums was about 23.
01:58 Nine of them were converted into a framework agreement.
02:01 These nine were in total investments of about 83 billion dollars,
02:05 which are being implemented over the course of 20 years.
02:08 But some of the other agreements were converted into a framework agreement,
02:13 and we will announce some of them soon.
02:16 This will be a big touchstone, because now,
02:19 these factories, other than exporting green fuel,
02:22 can still use this fuel in the local market,
02:25 for the factories that want to reduce their emissions,
02:29 and make their products greener, and increase the export to the global markets.
02:33 So, after we imagined that the local market would need this product for a long time,
02:41 we see that there are demands in the market at the moment,
02:45 from the consumers within the Republic of Egypt or the economic region.
