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.
