Egypt says stimulus package almost ready as it seeks to reassure investors

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt will announce details of its second stimulus package since Islamist President Mohamed Mursi was ousted in July within days, its finance minister said on Tuesday, aiming to boost tepid growth and reassure investors.

Egypt's economy has continued to suffer from investment outflows and a drop in tourism during political turmoil since autocrat President Hosni Mubarak was toppled in an uprising in 2011. The economy grew by just 1.04 percent in the three months through last September from a year earlier, according to latest central bank data.
