DUBAI (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund remains ready to provide aid to Egypt when Cairo requests it, a senior IMF official said on Tuesday without elaborating on when that might happen.

"We have some technical work already underway and we will be very ready and keen to support them when they think the time is right in terms of financing," Masood Ahmed, the IMF's Director for the Middle East and North Africa, told a news conference in Dubai.
