By 2020, the size of global LNG trade is projected to grow 50% compared to volumes in 2014. The report also noted that China and India, which are set to continue driving a rise in demand, were two of the fastest-growing buyers in 2016, increasing their imports by a combined 11.9 mn tonnes of LNG. Egypt was one of six new importing countries that have bolstered global demand for LNG since 2015.<\/strong> Others include Colombia, Jamaica, Jordan, Pakistan, and Poland. Egypt, Jordan, and Pakistan were among the fastest-growing LNG importers in the world in 2016. Due to local shortages in gas supplies, they imported a total of 13.9 mn tonnes of LNG. Egypt should see a significant reduction in imports and a return to exporting by 2018 after the Zohr supergiant field comes into production late this year.
