Wealth fund regulations to be completed “within days”: The bylaws and articles that will regulate Egypt’s proposed EGP 200 bn sovereign wealth fund will be completed within the coming days, Youm7 reports, citing an unnamed official in the Planning Ministry.

Youm7’s source notes that the Sisi administration is keen to launch the fund before year-end.
