Arab Finance: Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has renewed its denial of reports about changes to petroleum product prices, confirming that existing rates remain unchanged and that no official decision supports the figures circulating online, as per a statement.

The ministry said that Egypt's Fuel Automatic Pricing Committee had not yet met or issued any decision or recommendation on price adjustments. Accordingly, the purported new rates and percentage increases shared on social media pages and websites have no official basis.

The clarification follows a statement issued on September 24, 2026, rejecting similar claims. The ministry again urged the public to disregard unverified information, stressing that any pricing developments would be announced officially by the ministry and the relevant authorities.

Separately, it dismissed reports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder shortages in some governorates, saying production, transportation, filling, and distribution were proceeding normally.

Refineries continue to produce and supply LPG as usual, while bottling plants have sufficient bulk gas stocks and are operating at full capacity to meet market demand. The ministry noted there were no indications of a shortfall in available quantities.

Cylinder distribution remains regular across the governorates, with supplies provided to meet residents’ needs. The ministry added that it monitors production, supply, and distribution daily to maintain deliveries to all areas.

It reiterated that its official channels are the source of confirmed information on petroleum product prices and domestic supplies, and that figures or claims circulated by unofficial sources should not be treated as authoritative.
