Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi received on Sunday Kristalina Georgieva, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and her accompanying delegation, in the presence of Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, the Governor of the Central Bank, and the Ministers of Planning and Economic Development, International Cooperation, and Finance.

The meeting came within Kristalina’s visit to Egypt to participate in the UN Climate Summit COP27, in Sharm El-Sheikh.
