Revenue from Egypt's Suez Canal rose 10.5 percent year-on-year to US$436.6 million in May, and rose 0.5 percent from a month earlier, a government portal showed on Wednesday.
Revenue in May 2010 was US$395 million. Revenue in April 2011 was US$434.6 million.
The waterway is a vital source of foreign currency in Egypt, along with tourism, oil and gas exports and remittances from Egyptians living abroad.
