Joseph Saddi was appointed Minister of Energy on February 8, 2025, in a government of 24 ministers. Before taking on this role, he chaired the Middle East division of Strategy& (PwC), where he distinguished himself through his contributions to various privatization programs in the mining industry and the energy sector. His expertise is being tested in a delicate economic context, marked by a weakened currency and budgetary constraints that slow down fuel imports.
