CAIRO: Egyptian finance minister Samir Radwan has estimated the country's economic growth to between 2.5 and 3 percent in the current fiscal year, a repercussion of the massive 18-day popular uprising that led to the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak. Radwan said in a statement issued by his office on Tuesday, and highlighted by the AP, that Egypt would reach out to the oil-rich Gulf Arab states for help while officials will also work to broaden the country's fiscal landscape by trying to secure as many grants as possible. In an earlier statement, he expected that the country's gross domestic product would slow to under 4 percent due to the impact of the revolution on the Egyptian economy. BM
