<\/a> State-owned fertilizer producers to the rescue? <\/strong>State-owned fertilizer producers have presented the government with a solution to limit their losses following the float of the EGP, Al Mal<\/a> reported.

The producers also asked the government to allow them to export 45% of their production. State-owned producers say that they are contracted to sell to the government at a price of EGP 2,000 per tonne, but the production cost following the flotation and given that energy prices are charged in USD, are now at EGP 3,100 per tonne.<\/p>\n

In other FX news, international oil companies operating in Egypt are now paying contractors at an exchange rate set weekly by EGPC<\/strong>, sources told Al Mal<\/a>.
