Egypt is a net importer of refined fuels, while no longer exports significant volumes of natural gas, with Jordan being its remaining market - albeit inconsistently. We expect this dynamic to continue over the coming years leaving Egypt few export opportunities.

- The potential to restart LNG exports has materialised after...
