The ECA had initially introduced a one-year 10% supply cut in 2021 after an overflowing supply of cement left many cement makers on the brink of collapse. The cut has been renewed annually since then in response to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/45b08953-91ff-4997-92ca-50361134c7f2\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">requests<\/a> from cement factories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Can we see demand for cement rise? <\/strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/49f2ee30-824f-4ac8-bc3b-b19ae507e7d5\/el-sisi-reinstates-the-full-provisions-of-the-2008%253cmark%253e-building%253c%2Fmark%253e-law-in-a-move-aimed-at-reviving-the-construction-sector\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">directed the government<\/a> to scrap the construction licensing requirements put forward in 2021 and reinstating the full provisions of the 2008 Building Law is expected to boost demand for cement, Korayem said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>How big of a surge should we expect? <\/strong>Korayem was hesitant to predict a specific percentage of growth in demand, given inflation and the rising costs of building materials. While there is clearly demand for construction, it isn\u2019t obvious whether it will \u201cturn into real demand or remain latent amid continued economic pressure on individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Where things stand:<\/strong> Cement production remained stable throughout the year, despite declining domestic demand, Korayem told us. He predicted that total production would reach some 45 mn tons this year, down from just under 47 mn tons in 2023. The drop in demand may be offset by a 2-3 mn ton increase in exports, but \u201cexports are being sold at cost price to provide foreign currency for producers to cover their imports of coal and spare parts,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>By the numbers:<\/strong> Local cement production increased by 6.5% y-o-y to 34.9 mn tons during the first eight months of 2024,according to market data seen by Enterprise. Some 13% of locally produced cement was exported during the first eight months of the year, compared to 7% during the same period last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
