Amid regional developments unfolding, Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli, held follow‑up discussions with key ministers to review the country’s strategic reserves of petroleum products and essential food supplies.

The meetings come as part of ongoing government efforts to ensure stability and readiness for any potential scenarios.

During his meeting with Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister Karim Badawi, the Prime Minister reviewed the status of petroleum reserves and the stability of supply chains.

The minister confirmed that reserves remain at safe levels, with secure and regular supplies across various petroleum products, especially those needed by productive sectors. He added that the ministry has recently taken proactive steps to strengthen preparedness and develop rapid‑response plans for any unexpected developments in the energy sector.

Minister Badawi also noted that he visited the National Gas Network Control Center to oversee the implementation of the natural gas supply plan. He confirmed that gas is being delivered smoothly to all sectors of the domestic market, and that systems are ready to activate pre‑planned response scenarios if required.

In a separate meeting, Madbouli reviewed the status of strategic food reserves with Supply and Internal Trade Minister Sherif Farouk. The minister assured that Egypt maintains safe stocks of essential food commodities, with reserves sufficient for several months.

He emphasized that the government continues to supply markets with key products, monitor prices, and coordinate between agencies to prevent monopolistic practices or unjustified price increases, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.

These follow‑ups reflect the government’s efforts to maintain stability, protect consumers, and ensure the secure flow of essential goods during a period of heightened regional tension.
