MET Group’s LNG Desk will be strengthened with the arrival of Luis Sánchez as the new Head of LNG. MET has been expanding its LNG business in recent years, importing liquefied natural gas to multiple countries across the Mediterranean, Northwest Europe and the Nordic region.

"Based on the past year, I see that Europe has taken a huge step forward towards pragmatism" to improve its rapidly deteriorating competitiveness, but with 90% exposure to gas imports, it has to be very sensible in the face of geopolitical changes, Benjamin Lakatos told Portfolio in an interview. MET Group's CEO believes that European leaders need to apply serious changes in three to five areas.

At the turn of the year, the giant Swiss wholesale trader of gas and electricity, MET Group, entered the Czech market. Its revenues last year were around half a trillion CZK. However, households won't encounter it for now, as the company primarily targets industrial companies.
