New Finmin Plays Safe on IMF

EGYPT is not ready for a decision on funding from the International Monetary Fund, the government said yesterday in a statement that named Mumtaz al-Saeed as the country's new finance minister.

"Regarding the fate of the deal with the IMF for the US$3.2 billion fund, which is the deal that has been suspended because of the recent events, al-Saeed said it is too early to know the fate of this loan," the Finance Ministry said.

An interim government that has been lobbying for foreign funds to bolster a ballooning budget deficit resigned last month and the new Prime Minister chosen by the country's army rulers has yet to formally announce a new cabinet.
