Egyptians can rest assured for the next month and a half that their pocketbooks are safe from major shocks in the price of gas. Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources issued an official statement earlier this month announcing that fuel prices would remain at their current levels until March.
Mohamed Shuaib, CEO of the East Gas Company, told Al-Monitor that the decision had been arrived at Jan. 2 during the third meeting of the Follow-up Committee for the Automatic Pricing Mechanism for Petroleum Products as required by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to obtain assistance.
