Egypt Restricts Shop Hours and Public Lighting in Response to Energy Price Increases

Egypt has implemented emergency measures to reduce energy consumption following increases in energy prices. The government has restricted commercial operating hours and ordered the shutdown of street lighting and roadside advertising. Additionally, public sector employees must work from home at least one day per week as part of the conservation efforts. The measures reflect Egypt's ongoing struggle with energy costs and the government's attempt to manage the economic impact on both businesses and consumers.
