Egypt Aims to Become a Regional Gas Hub, Says Crisis Group Official

Egypt’s efforts to develop its energy sector reflect its ambition to become a regional gas hub, according to Riccardo Fabiani, North Africa project director at the International Crisis Group.

Fabiani praised the progress Egypt has made in energy, describing the country as one of the first to develop its offshore resources.

“From the outset, we can say that Egypt truly aims to be an indispensable regional gas hub,” he said.

His remarks linked Egypt’s energy development to its broader regional ambitions, with natural gas central to the role it is seeking to establish.
