(MENAFN) Egypt has cancelled an USD140mn loan signed with the African Development Bank (AFDB) to upgrade Sharm El-Sheikh airport.
However, the continued drop in tourism for Sharm El-Sheikh obliged the government to reconsider carrying out the airport upgrade project.
The government is focusing on implementing other projects with high-priority, like the development of slums and financing youth-led businesses.
In addition, Egypt signed an USD140mn loan deal last year with the AFDB to finance a project to increase Sharm El-Sheikh Airport's capacity.
