Madbouly announced that the government is preparing different scenarios for the Egyptian economy, with the help of experts.

This is within a framework time period of two years, in light of the extended repercussions of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.

Madbouly said 25 percent of these companies will be offered for sale within six months, which is an important step.

This is to be achieved in coordination with investment banks and specialized companies.
