The president made the remarks at a meeting on Thursday, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2Wf9nPL\">Ittihadiya statement<\/a>.

The government will make the funding available for on-lending through banks. Owners of vehicles over 20 years old will be eligible for the financing, while owners of younger vehicles could have access to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a9ca4595-65d7-4dd9-80f7-225ca87d2630\">a separate, subsidized finance package<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Sisi also called for setting up a car expo as a way to entice manufacturers to get in on the natural gas-transition plan<\/strong>, Ittihadiya said.
