The new system would give large industrial users the option to secure their gas needs through direct contracts with suppliers if they can land better prices or terms, we were told.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The move will support Egypt\u2019s efforts to one day become a regional energy hub<\/strong>, the source argued. Creating a market where private-sector suppliers \u2014 both local and foreign \u2014 sell directly to end users will develop the logistical, financial, and bureaucratic networks to facilitate the government\u2019s long-planned return to being an energy exporter \u2014 and a leading regional hub at that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The decision is being presented as a W for the budget<\/strong>, with the introduction of private suppliers creating price flexibility and helping reduce the strain on the state budget, the source said. At present, Egypt still heavily subsidizes gas for industries, particularly energy-intensive ones, at prices well below global levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Regulatory changes are also in the pipeline <\/strong><strong>to attract foreign investments into the gas market<\/strong>, the source added without expanding further.

In a speech that lasted just under an hour, Trump took his time firing shots at a slew of member nations \u2014 and the UN itself \u2014 but not before praising himself. \u201cI\u2019m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell,\u201d the US president said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Moments after claiming he helped end seven \u201cunendable\u201d wars <\/strong>\u2014 a feat he argues entitles him to a Nobel Peace Prize \u2014 the president questioned the UN\u2019s purpose and existence, rejected moves to recognize Palestinian statehood, criticized his European allies\u2019 immigration policies, and called climate change \u201cthe greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.\u201d Trump\u2019s speech raised a key question: what happens in the absence of a reliable American leader?
