Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab announced Sunday that his country agreed $36.2 billion (34.5 billion euros) in investment deals, at the close of a three-day conference to kick start the economy.
The conference, which started with Arab Gulf countries pledging $12 billion in investments and aid, is seen by the government as a ringing endorsement of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his fight against Islamist militants.
