The International Monetary Fund is studying revised fiscal projections for Egypt's economy and no date has been set to resume talks on an IMF loan programme, an IMF spokesman said.
"We have received revised fiscal projections that are based on policy measures the authorities intend to implement," IMF spokesman William Murray told reporters.
"Staff is currently analyzing those new fiscal projections. Once we have had a chance to go through them, we will have a discussion with the authorities on next steps," he added.
He said the revised measures were received "in recent days" from the Egyptian authorities.
Earlier, Egypt's investment minister said the country hoped to conclude a deal with the IMF for a $4.8 billion loan by the end of April.
"We have hope, God willing, that we can, by the end of April complete the loan," Osama Saleh told journalists. - Reuters
