Mekkawy denied that the delay pushes the company to sort to the international arbitration, because the company owns the enough trust in the Egyptian government, and its ability to take the right decisions, that should work for the interest of the Egyptian economy.
He added that there are 5 banks – the most prominent are HSBC, CIB, and Arab African- agreed with company in earlier time to arrange a loan of 2 billion EGP, as the company will use this finance to establish a trading center “Mall" in New Cairo, and he added that company is waiting for signing the settlement with the government, so as to get the loan.
