Tarek Amer, governor of the Central Bank of Egypt, is heading his country’s high-level delegation of central bank officials to take part in this week’s IMF and World Bank spring meetings in Washington.
The spring meetings event, an annual gathering that brings together over 1,000 participants from government, civil society, the private sector, the press and academia, will take place in Washington, DC, April 21-23, 2017.
The meetings come at a crucial time for the economically-battered country, as Egypt is on track to receive the second tranche of a $12 billion three-year loan from the International Monetary Fund.
In November, Egypt received $2.75 billion as the first tranche of $ 12 billon loan from the IMF.
