WRI’s assessment
Egypt’s Logistics Growth Index edged up to 47.1 in July 2026, a 0.6-point monthly gain that lifted the reading above its three-month average. The improvement was primarily driven by a sharper recovery in transportation, as major waterway revenues surged and container throughput expanded significantly despite ongoing route diversions.
