Egypt repays $2.1 bln of debt to foreign energy companies-oil minister

Reuters - UK Focus

CAIRO, Dec (Shanghai: 600875.SS - news) 31 (Reuters) - Egypt has paid $2.1 billion of its debt to foreign energy companies, leaving $3.1 billion still owed, Oil Minister Sherif Ismail said in a statement on Wednesday.

Egypt made earlier payments of $1.5 billion in December 2013, and $1.4 billion in October 2014, Ismail added.

Arrears to foreign energy companies have hampered investment in the sector. (Reporting by Shadi Bushra; editing by Jason Neely)
