Eastern Europe and Central Asia saw reform in 10 economies. Six reduced the running-around time for entrepreneurs by creating one-stop shops. Albania took registration out of the courts and merged company, social security, labor and tax registrations. Before, entrepreneurs had to wait more than a month to start doing business; now it's just 8 days. Azerbaijan's one-stop shop reduced delays by 2 weeks, Slovenia's by 6. Bulgaria, the Kyrgyz Republic and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia undertook reforms similar to Azerbaijan's. And while Czech entrepreneurs still have to obtain multiple documents, the new "Project Czech Point" allows them to do so at one place.

CAIRO - The long banned Muslim Brotherhood said Tuesday it will form a political party once democracy is established in Egypt but promised not to field a candidate for president, trying to allay fears at home and abroad that it seeks power. Still, the fundamentalist movement is poised to be a significant player in the new order.
Egypt's new military rulers gave a strong sign they recognize that the Brotherhood, which calls for creation of an Islamic state in the Arab world's most populous nation, can no longer be barred from politics after the mass uprising that forced out President Hosni Mubarak with 18 days of protests.

Egypt's Central Bank sells $1.1 billion in Treasury bills CAIRO - - Egypt's Central Bank on Sunday sold 6.5 billion pounds ($1.1 billion) in Treasury bills, still forced to pay high yields despite the easing of tensions after President Hosni Mubarak ceded control of the country to the military. The auction of 3 billion pounds in three-month bills and 3.5 billion in 266-day bills was the latest push by the Egyptian government to raise funds as the political crisis battered the country's economy. It was the first such auction since Mubarak left office on Thursday after 18 days of protests in which hundreds of thousands demanded his ouster. Yields for the 91- day bills averaged almost 10.95 percent while the 266-day T-bill averaged almost 11.68 percent, slightly lower than previous sales l...

As a bridge between Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, for hundreds of years Egypt has taken advantage of its strategic position to facilitate trade and investment. The country has a more stable political and economic climate than some of its nearest neighbors, and the gradual liberalization of its economy and investment in infrastructure have garnered international attention. In 2007, foreign direct investment inflows into Egypt reached almost $12 billion, an increase of 15% on 2006 levels, according to the United Nations Council of Trade and Development's 2008 World Investment report. While Egypt's banking sector emerged from the global economic crisis relatively unscathed, the wider economy felt the brunt of deleveraging by foreign investors. Other key sources of revenue for t...
