Egypt mulling plan to set closing time for shops
- Egypt: Saturday, October 20 - 2012 at 06:00
Egypt's local development minister Ahmed Zaki has said the government is considering a new law that would see shops close at 10 pm and restaurants at midnight, AFP has reported. The proposal, which is aimed at saving electricity and increasing productivity, could come into force at the end of the month, the minister said. "Tourist establishments" with a special licence such as hotels and bars, would be exempt from the decision. The government said it had consulted governors, shop owners and chambers of commerce across the country who all agreed with the proposal. However, the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce said more consultation is needed and called for an urgent meeting this week to discuss the issue.
