Egypt paid back 500 million $ to Qatar

Egypt has paid back $500 million to Qatar and will soon return the remainder of the money the Gulf state deposited into the Egyptian central bank after the 2011 revolution, the bank's governor said on Saturday

Qatar helped prop up the Egyptian economy in the aftermath of the revolution that ousted Hosni Mubarak and eventually brought Islamist President Mohamed Mursi to power in Egypt's first democratic elections

The monarchy, a strong supporter of Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood, provided some $7.5 billion in loans and grants during Mursi's year in power,Reuters
