Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk noted that the government’s financial support across all areas totals EGP 840 billion for this fiscal year. When accounting for an additional ~20% in loan-related costs, the total value of this support effectively reaches approximately EGP 1 trillion. The President emphasized the state’s commitment to ongoing cooperation with the private sector to further develop the energy sector. In this context, he highlighted the Egyptian state’s dedication to settling all outstanding dues owed to foreign partners—a commitment fulfilled in June 2024, when all such arrears were cleared.
