Egypt Enforces 9 PM Closures and Proposes 2-Day Remote Work to Cut Energy Use

Egypt has introduced a 9 PM curfew on malls, cafes, and shops, effective March 28, alongside plans to allow public sector workers to work remotely up to two days weekly. These energy-saving measures respond to a regional gas shortage threatening electricity stability. Authorities aim to monitor the impact before potentially extending or adjusting policies as the situation evolves.
