Egypt is in talks with China to obtain $2 billion in financing, Deputy Finance Minister Ahmed Kojak said, without giving further details.

“All the details are with the central bank,” he said.

Egypt has reached a staff level agreement for a $12 billion loan programme from the International Monetary Fund and must secure around $6 billion in bilateral financing to obtain approval for the programme.
