CAIRO, March 10 (Xinhua) -- Egypt expected to receive a 3-billion-U.S. dollars loan from the World Bank after the country reached an initial agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to expand the latter's loan arrangement, Egyptian Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait told a press conference on Sunday.
Maait said that last week's agreement could pave the way for his country to receive over 20 billion dollars in additional funding from other partners, including the World Bank, the European Union, the African Development Bank, the Arab Monetary Fund and others.
