"Qatar said
on Thursday it would invest $18 billion dollars in tourism and industry projects
along Egypt's
Mediterranean
coast over the next five years, the latest pledge of support to an
economy hammered by a year and a half of political turmoil. In the last few months, Egypt has received more than $5 billion in loans
and pledges, including $2 billion in direct budget support from Qatar and loans from
Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Development Bank."
