Egypt suspends online services after six months
The Egyptian government has concluded the "Sunday Online" experiment, which allowed remote work every Sunday, after approximately six months of its implementation in April 2026, with the aim of rationalizing energy and fuel consumption and reducing government spending. This decision came after the circumstances that prompted the government to launch this initiative had ended, particularly the rise in oil and energy prices due to the regional crisis. The accompanying study demonstrated real savings in electricity and fuel consumption, including a reduction in energy import bills from around $1.2 billion to over $2.5 billion in recent months. The decision to halt the initiative was made after the government confirmed that the conditions which led to its implementation had ceased and that the intention was to reduce transportation movement and associated costs amid the global increase in energy prices.
