A large Egyptian delegation will start trickling into Washington, DC, today and tomorrow for the IMF and World Bank annual fall meetings. The gatherings kick off today and run until 15 October. Among those attending are Investment Minister Sahar Nasr, Finance Minister Amr El Garhy, EGX chief Mohamed Farid and Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority Chairman Mohamed Omran. Garhy and Nasr will also be courting investors on the sidelines of the meeting and in a separate event in Washington, DC.
The annual meetings come ahead of a scheduled visit to Egypt from an IMF delegation later this month to conduct a second review of the state’s reform program.
