Egypt Plans to Become Regional Gas Trading Center, Minister Says
On July 5-6, Austria's capital Vienna hosts 8th OPEC International Seminar under the title "Towards a Sustainable and Inclusive Energy Transition".
Egypt plans to become a regional center for gas trading, Egyptian Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla told
Sputnik. "First, we want to ensure the safety of our consumption on the local market. Second, we want to become a regional center for gas trading, regardless of whether it is produced here, in the states of the Eastern Mediterranean or in others," El Molla said on the sidelines of the OPEC seminar in Vienna, noting that Egypt has an appropriate infrastructure for exporting gas.
Asked about the decline in Egypt's earnings from gas exports, the minister said the reason was the fall in gas prices on global markets.
