The shortage of United States dollars in Egypt could start squeezing Dana Gas’s almost $400 million investment plans for the country within months, according to the company’s chief executive.
Patrick Allman-Ward told Interfax Natural Gas Daily the lack of dollars in Egypt, both from the central bank and from slowed receivables payments, would mean the company may have to start curtailing its projects if the situation does not improve within the next few months.
