Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to increase footprint in Egypt
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has agreed to acquire half of TotalEnergies Egypt. ADNOC bought a 50% stake in the French oil giant’s Egyptian branch for $186 million, the Emirates News Agency reported today.
Why it matters: TotalEnergies has a large footprint in Egypt, with 240 fuel stations. The transaction is ADNOC’s largest investment ever, ADNOC said in a press release.
The move also represents continued Emirati investment in Egypt’s economy. In April, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund invested $1.8 billion to acquire shares in several publicly traded Egyptian companies. In June, the United Arab Emirates entered into a $10 billion investment partnership with Egypt and Jordan.
