Egypt raises petrol prices

KATHMANDU: Egypt has increased the price of domestic gasoline while keeping the price of diesel unchanged.

Diesel prices remain unchanged at £8.25 per litre. “Keeping the price of diesel stable is important to protect the public interest as it affects the cost of transport and the cost of goods,” the ministry said.

This is Egypt’s second time of fuel price adjustment this year.

In early May, the country hiked the price of diesel by one pound to £8.25 per litre, keeping petrol prices unchanged.
