Egyptian officials also expect the reopened Suez Canal to eventually bring in $450 million a year in foreign exchange. Traffic through the canal has picked up steadily since it was reopened last June-though it is still below the 1967 level-and Japan recently granted a $100 million loan to widen and deepen it.
