Egypt business

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The recent demonstrations have plunged Egypt into a period of political instability. So what does this mean for business in Egypt? Justin Rowlatt asks leading Egyptian businessman, Mahmoud Yousseff. Plus Justin talks to economist Ulrike Malmendier from the University of California, Berkeley, and finds out why it is a bad thing when your company boss wins a prestigious prize. Our regular commentator Wycliffe Muga explains why giving hard cash may be the best way to stimulate development.
