Qatar disappeared from the political scene in Egypt for a few hours only to reappear, this time with its best face on: the economic one.
Qatari Finance Minister Yousef Hussain Kamal was received as a guest in Cairo in a previously announced visit. He met with his Egyptian counterpart, Mursi Hijazi, who took office a few days ago. He also met with Prime Minister Hisham Kandil, and held a short press conference in which he announced Qatar’s intention to purchase Egyptian bonds and bills worth $2.5 billion.
Egypt has not yet officially offered these bonds,  nor has it revealed their value.
