Crossing the Mediterranean Sea: should European fuel retailers return to North Africa?
Report summary
Major European oil companies are increasingly looking for opportunities to expand their retail businesses in growth markets outside of Europe. Significant investments are underway in China, India, or Latin America. Although North Africa took a backseat in these expansion plans so far, Cepsa has recently invested in Morocco, and TotalEnergies is also investing in its Egyptian retail business.
