据官方公报报道,埃及周五今年第二次上调燃料价格,作为削减补贴和缩小预算赤字努力的一部分。在4月份上涨近15%之后,各种石油产品的涨幅在10.5%至12.9%之间。汽油价格大幅上涨,目前80辛烷值为每升17.75磅,92辛烷值为19.25磅,95辛烷值为21磅。广泛用于运输和农业的柴油价格上涨了2磅,达到每升17.50磅。石油部表示,在此次调整后,国内燃料价格将冻结至少一年,这是国际货币基金组织计划下更广泛的财政改革的一部分,该计划旨在稳定经济,减少能源补贴的公共支出,并使国内价格更接近实际成本。
Egypt raised fuel prices on Friday for the second time this year, the official gazette reported, as part of efforts to cut subsidies and narrow the budget deficit. The hike ranged between 10.5% and 12.9% across various petroleum products, following a nearly 15% increase in April. Gasoline prices rose sharply, with 80-octane now at 17.75 pounds per liter, 92-octane at 19.25 pounds, and 95-octane at 21 pounds. Diesel, widely used for transport and agriculture, climbed by 2 pounds to 17.50 pounds per litre. The Petroleum Ministry said domestic fuel prices will be frozen for at least a year after this adjustment, part of broader fiscal reforms under the IMF program, which aims to stabilize the economy, reduce public spending on energy subsidies, and bring domestic prices closer to actual costs.
