It\u2019s a mixed bag for mentions of Egypt <\/strong>in the foreign press this morning.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still plenty of interest in our economy: <\/strong>Soaring book prices on the back of higher materials costs has led the Egyptian Publishers Association to offer customers payment plans of up to nine months with 1.5% interest to purchase books, the BBC<\/a> reports.
