Egyptian PM Ibrahim Mahlab

Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab held a meeting Monday with the Executive Committee of Tahya Misr (Long Live Egypt) fund to discuss proposed projects.

The meeting covered a number of planned projects that will be executed by the fund during the coming period.

On July 1, 2014, the presidency announced the launch of the fund to support Egypt's economy.

The move came in response to a call by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi who gave up half of his salary and property to shore up the Egyptian economy.
