Finance Minister Mohamed Maait asked the House general assembly to allow the state to directly pocket the levy on gasoline and diesel a day <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b8f5970a-0655-4a51-b85e-9643444c399c\">after the proposal was rejected<\/a> by the House Planning and Budgeting Committee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other fees approved yesterday <\/strong>as part of the same bill included new levies on mobile phones, pet food and sporting contracts, among others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prices at the pump will not go up, <\/strong><strong>Maait <\/strong><strong>said.<\/strong> For starters, the levy isn\u2019t exactly new: a fee of EGP 0.30 \/ liter of gasoline and EGP 0.25 \/ liter of diesel is already included in the price. What is changing is who gets to collect the fee.
