High oil prices come since 2008 is not in favor of the Egyptian economy, as Egypt has turned a net importer of oil since 2006 at the latest, with decreasing production and increasing domestic consumption, has been compensated for the natural gas discoveries this shortage, and retained for Egypt Source Net Energy Center from 2006 to 2012 , when Egypt became facing an energy crisis, and the crisis in the abundance of hard currency, since surpassed Egypt consumption of domestic energy production kidneys of oil and gas, making it a net importer of energy, and occupied the energy imports from abroad nearly five import bill, and this was reflected on the item support energy, which in turn, inflation, and are out of control the night five-year spending, roughly equal to the annual budget deficit in the years following the revolution of January. *** So is it not logical to Egypt today benefit from lower oil prices, even though supporting the years of cheap energy potential opportunities for economic recovery and reduce the deficit in the balance of trade and payments and the general budget of the state?
