EU official: Egypt requires over $10bn in aid

  • Egypt: Thursday, September 13 - 2012 at 11:49

A senior EU official has said Egypt is likely to need more than $10bn in external financing to help revive its economy, battered after a revolt that toppled the country's authoritarian government last year, Reuters has reported. "Egypt will need more than this," the official told a briefing ahead of a visit to Brussels by Egyptian president Mohamed Mursi today. The European Union and other institutions and countries are considering financial support for Egypt in addition to a $4.8bn loan that Cairo has requested from the International Monetary Fund, the official said.
