The economic effects of the closure of the Suez Canal

Abstract

This preliminary note which has been prepared subsequent to the eleventh session of the Board sets forth briefly the nature of the issues and economic problems resulting from the closure of the Suez Canal Owing to the short time available, it has not been possible for the secretariat to carry out extensive research and collect, data on the economic effects of the closure of the Canal. However, statistical information which was readily accessible has been taken into account.
