Egypt economy is doing well with int'l recognition

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli stressed on Monday that many international organizations have testified to the remarkable progress achieved by Egypt's national economy over the past few years.

The meeting aims at following up economic indicators and reviewing the government's plan for 2019/2020 budget.
