Cairo – Mubasher: Foreign investments in Egypt’s debt instruments reached about $28-29 billion at the end of May, the Minister of Finance, Mohamed Maait, said.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Maait revealed that the ministry will issue the first sovereign Sukuk once the law is approved by the Parliament in the coming period, which will help diversify the country’s funding sources.
