Sisi to address fuel gap
The article proposes allocating a monthly fuel quota at a subsidized price, with any additional fuel sold at cost or at the global price. The example of 100 liters for a private car is hypothetical, not an announced decision. The discussion is based on a gap between production and consumption: the diesel shortfall in June 2026 reached about 383,000 tonnes, while the petroleum-products import bill for June and July was estimated at roughly $2–2.2 billion. The article argues that the proposal would require fair, sector-specific quotas, clear rules, oversight, and safeguards for low-income households to prevent transport and production costs from rising. Simply liberalizing prices is not enough to achieve balanced reform.
