Egyptian TV host Amr Adib has raised concerns about the potential surge in oil prices and its impact on fuel prices in Egypt. Speaking on his show "Al-Hekaya," Adib highlighted that a barrel of oil exceeding $104 could lead to significant changes in fuel pricing, especially as diesel prices in the US have already risen to six dollars per gallon.
He questioned how the government, which had previously based its calculations on a $75 per barrel price, would handle such a high level and what measures they might take.

He emphasized that the current situation is complex and unpredictable, with repercussions that extend beyond Egypt, affecting global energy markets and trade flows.
