Egypt Reconsiders Lowering Gas Price for Factories

The Egyptian government had announced that it is reconsidering its decision to sell natural gas to the iron factories at $4.5 per 1mBtu instead of the current price of $7 per 1mBtu, in order to reduce the price of steel for consumers, reported Daily News Egypt.
