Egypt has finally reached a long-awaited preliminary agreement with the International Monetary Fund for a $4.8bn loan.
The deal, made public on Tuesday, is designed to help Cairo reinforce its finances, stabilise its reserves, and restore investor confidence. But the announcement leaves some key details unclear, notably the fate of the currency, widely seen as overvalued.
“We have a preliminary agreement with the technical team of the IMF,” said Planning and International Cooperation Minister Ashraf al-Araby, according to Reuters.
