The African Development Bank will decide whether to give Egypt a $500 million loan based on the North-African country’s negotiations with the International Monetary Fund.

“The board is exploring the possibility of a budget support loan,” Sibry Tapsoba, the bank’s Egypt representative, said in a telephone interview today. “No date is confirmed yet. It can only go ahead if the country concludes its agreement with the IMF.”
