Egypt repays $2.1 bln of debt to foreign energy companies: oil minister
Reuters Published in Ahram Online on 31 - 12 - 2014

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.
