Raising the cap on dollar deposits is unlikely during the current period as it was not issued in the Coordinating Council agenda, Minister of Investment Ashraf Salman, who is also a member at the Coordinating Council for fiscal and monetary policies, said. Salman said regulating the import process is a priority for the coordinating council, which will mandate those factories that export to Egypt to register at the Egyptian Exports and Imports Supervisory Authority. Meanwhile, a source at the Ministry of Foreign Trade estimated imports received which do not comply with international requirements and standards reached USD9 billion out of a total import bill of USD80 billion.
