PM: Egypt Projects Natural Gas Output to Reach 6.6 Bcf/Day by 2027
Ahmed Emam Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said on Wednesday that the country expects to boost its natural gas production to 6.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) by 2027, up from the current 4.1 Bcf/d. Speaking during a briefing on the government's energy strategy, Madbouly highlighted ongoing investments in exploration, development, and infrastructure aimed at increasing output and meeting both domestic demand and export commitments. The Prime Minister noted that the expansion plan is part of Egypt's broader strategy to consolidate its role as a regional energy hub, leveraging its liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities and strategic location. Egypt has emerged as a key gas supplier in the Eastern Mediterranean, benefiting from recent discoveries such as the giant Zohr field. However, production levels have faced challenges in recent years due to natural field declines and fluctuating investment. Madbouly expressed confidence that new projects, combined with enhanced efficiency in existing fields, will enable Egypt to achieve the 2027 production target. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Germany Spends €80 Mln on Border Controls
Israa Farhan Germany has spent €80.5 million on land border control operations between mid-September 2024 and the end of June 2025, according to figures released by the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The measures, initially introduced as a temporary exception to the Schengen Area's free movement rules, have since been repeatedly extended. The expenditure covers a wide range of costs, including €24 to €29.1 million per quarter for deploying federal police along internal borders. Between April and June 2025 alone, the government paid €8 million for meals and hotel accommodation for police officers, almost €3 million in allowances for working unsociable hours, €2.6 million for administrative and operational resources, and around €2 million for running border checkpoints. Overtime pay represented the largest single expense, amounting to €37.9 million during the period from September 2024 to June 2025. Former Interior Minister Nancy Faeser first imposed the land border checks in September 2024, citing the need to curb irregular migration and combat cross-border crime. Her successor, Alexander Dobrindt, intensified these measures upon taking office in May 2025, announcing further extensions beyond September this year and introducing a policy of turning away asylum seekers directly at the border. Between 8 May and 4 August 2025, federal police refused entry to 493 people who had expressed an intention to seek asylum in Germany. Critics, including opposition figures, have condemned the policy as unlawful and harmful to both travelers and asylum seekers. They argue that it creates traffic congestion in border regions, adds unnecessary burdens for regular cross-border commuters, and results in excessively high costs for the federal government. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Brazil Unveils $5.5 Bln Plan to Shield Exporters from Trump's Tariffs
Israa Farhan Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has announced a sweeping $5.5 billion relief package to support exporters reeling from punitive US tariffs of up to 50 per cent, imposed by President Donald Trump on a range of Brazilian goods. The plan allocates 20 billion reais (€4.7 billion) in credit to assist affected businesses, alongside measures to defer tax liabilities and incentivize domestic consumption of products originally destined for the American market. Lula urged resilience, asserting that crises are opportunities for innovation, while criticizing the US move as lacking legitimate grounds. Washington's latest trade offensive singles out Brazil with some of the highest levies imposed globally, a move Trump linked to the legal troubles of his ally and Brazil's former far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro, now under house arrest, faces allegations of plotting a coup following his 2022 electoral defeat. Lula accused the US of weaponizing human rights rhetoric to justify geopolitical disputes, asserting that Brazil's judiciary operates independently. Finance Minister Fernando Haddad condemned the tariffs as punitive measures against a nation 'more democratic than its aggressor.' Despite the tensions, Lula signaled no immediate plans to retaliate with higher tariffs on American imports, stressing a preference for diplomacy over confrontation. He reaffirmed Brazil's commitment to defending its sovereignty while maintaining constructive relations with Washington and neighboring states. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
