GM, BASF reopen in Egypt, Electrolux plans partial resumption

General Motors (GM.N) and German chemicals firm BASF (BASFn.DE) reopened facilities in Egypt on Sunday while Electrolux (ELUXb.ST) said it would partly resume operations on Monday.

Electrolux, the world's second-biggest home appliances maker with nearly 7,000 employees in Egypt, suspended production in Egypt on Wednesday due to the unstable security situation.

The Swedish company, with around 10 production facilities on the outskirts of Cairo, said it was assessing developments continuously and operations would partly resume on Monday.

More than 700 people have died, most of them backers of ousted president Mohamed Mursi, in four days of violence during which the army-backed government launched a fierce crackdown on his supporters.
