Egypt will increase electricity prices sold in domestic markets in the next fiscal year in five months’ time, according to Minister of Electricity and Energy, Mohamed Shaker.

In a statement, Shaker confirmed that electricity subsidies would be “zero” in the fiscal year 2020-2021 after the subsidy was supposed to be terminated in the 2018-2019 year. The fiscal year begins in Egypt early July and runs until the end of June the next year, according to the Egyptian Budget Law.
