Egypt Sets up Cabinet Groupto Attract Foreign Investment
Shell Egypt Wants to Sell Natgas to the Local Market
New cabinet committee to work on attracting foreign investment: Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly set up on Monday a ministerial committee to formulate policy to attract sector-specific investment and FDI, according to a cabinet statement. The group will meet at least once a month to work on mechanisms for facilitating investment and oversee the committees in charge of settling disputes.
https://enterprise.press/stories/2020/01/08/egypt-sets-up-cabinet-group-to-attract-/foreign-investment-9481
Shell Egypt has submitted a request to the Gas Regulatory Authority to allow it to sell gas to customers in the local market using the national grid, Shell Egypt Deputy Country Chair Moataz Darwish told Al Mal. The process could take years to complete and requires direct approval from cabinet, according to an unnamed source from the authority. EGAS is currently the only market player supplying and selling gas in the local market. Shell is also looking into importing natural gas from Cyprus and liquefying it at one of Egypt’s liquefaction facilities, some of which it would presumably sell to the local market if it receives regulatory approval. Egypt has moved in recent years to deregulate the natural gas grid, opening it to use by the private sector.

Government Keeps Fuel Prices Unchanged Through March
Over 15 million Tourists Expected to Visit Egypt in 2020
Government leaves fuel prices unchanged through March: The government’s fuel pric-ingcommittee has decided to maintain the current prices for all grades of fuel until the end of March, according to a statement (pdf). This means that prices will remain at EGP 8.75 per liter of 95-octane, EGP 7.75 per liter of 92-octane, and EGP 6.5 per liter of 80-octane. Mazot fuel oil for use in factories will still go for EGP 4,250 per ton. The committee noted the rise in the price of Brent crude in international markets from October to December as a reason for maintaining the price, despite the appreciation of the EGP. The decision came in line with expectations. The new pricing mechanism, which allows local fuel prices to fluctuate ±10% in tandem with global prices, took hold earlier this year.
https://enterprise.press/stories/2020/01/08/govt-keeps-fuel-prices-unchanged-through-march-9483/
Figures released by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) shows that Egypt's tourism sector has recovered after the number of tourists who visited the country in 2019 hit about 13 million, said economic adviser at the WTO and member of the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Saeed el Batouti. In statements to MENA on Tuesday, Batouti, who is also a board member of the German Travel Association (DRV) added that the number of tourists expected to visit Egypt this year would exceed 15 million, thanks to Egypt's stability in addition to the package of current policies the country adopts. He attributed the tourism sector recovery to the strong support provided by the political leadership.
