Gov’t inks contracts with EIB for its EUR 172 mn contribution to Fayoum wastewater project: Investment and International Cooperation Minister Sahar Nasr signed yesterday a EUR 172 mn loan agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to help upgrade sewage and wastewater systems in Fayoum, Al Mal reports. The loan is part of a EUR 448 mn package from the EIB, EU, and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The government had already signed a contract with the EBRD for its EUR 186 mn portion of the facility last year.

The project will also reduce pollution levels at Lake Qarun.
