Saudi Arabia is studying a report submitted by Egypt detailing its financial needs to support its ailing economy over the coming year, the Kingdom’s ambassador to Cairo said.
Saudi Arabia pledged $5 billion in aid soon after the army, prompted by mass protests, ousted Muhammad Mursi on July 3.
The government has run a budget deficit of $3.2 billion a month since January.
Interim Prime Minister Hazem Beblawi has presented a “Marshall Plan” to Gulf states, seeking support that he hopes will relieve some of the pressure on the economy."
