The Egyptian Refining Company (ERC) has signed a debt package of US$2.6 billion to finance construction of a US$3.7 billion second-stage oil refinery in the Greater Cairo Area.
The refinery is expected to produce over 4 million tonnes of refined products per annum, including over 2.3 million tonnes of EURO V diesel.
ERC's production will be sold to the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) under a 25-year agreement.
ERC is a partnership between Citadel Capital, the leading private equity firm in the Middle East, and the EGPC.
