Egypt's Central Bank receives 3rd tranche of Qatar's $2 billion deposit The second tranche of a $2 billion deposit promised by Qatar was transferred to Egypt last month, according to the finance minister
The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has received the third tranche – worth $500 million – of a promised $2 billion deposit from Qatar; state-run news agency MENA reported on Sunday citing finance minister Momtaz El-Said. According to the minister, Qatar will send the last tranche soon. In August, Emir of Qatar Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani met with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in Cairo to discuss means of enhancing cooperation between the two countries. Following the meeting, Bin Khalifa ordered that $2 billion be deposited at the CBE, which received the second tranche last month. Bolstered by the Qatari deposit, Egypt's foreign currency reserves have risen by $441 million in October to reach $15.484 billion, up from $15.043 billion at the end of September. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/57836.aspx
