It was nice while it lasted.... I am amazed that Centamin investors are surprised today about the rising cost of diesel in Egypt. There have been many stories about this in the local egypt press recently.

and also from early febuary, 75% increase to industrial users!

I guess not everybody got that memo.
Bottom line is Egypt's practice of subsidizing the use of oil is unsustainable and cannot continue. Their oil production is post peak and declining fast.
And no, this is not some special effort the Egyptians are making to screw Centamin.
