All eyes on Cairo as IMF comes to town - The National

Key will be the resolution of economic troubles in Egypt that have put a discount on Cairo's market since the country's uprising began last year.

Christine Lagarde arrives in the Egyptian capital on Wednesday at the head of a long-anticipated IMF mission to the Arab world's most populous nation.
