EGYPT: Courts to reopen, stock market remains closed
The Egyptian justice minister announced on state television Saturday that the country's courts will return to work Sunday.
However, Khaled Serri Seyam, the head of the Egyptian stock market, told the official Egyptian news agency that the country's stock market will not reopen as planned on Monday. It was not clear when it will reopen, CNN reported.
