The World Bank has announced that it will open discussions with Egypt on a $1bn loan after receiving a request from Cairo for the funds.
The loan, for budget support, will be finalised after an International Monetary Fund program is in place.
Egypt opened talks last month with the IMF for a $3.2bn standby facility to shore up its finances, which have been severely undermined by political turmoil over the past year.
