Mubarak trying to revive Egyptian economy

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has held talks with ministers to try to revive an economy hit by a wave of anti-government protests. Finance Minister Samir Radwan says the economic situation in Egypt is very serious.



Some of the initiatives include having banks reopen on Sunday.

Analysts say the uprising is costing the country at least three hundred –ten million dollars per day.



Meanwhile, the army is reportedly trying to secure one of the entrances to Tahrir Square, where protesters remain encamped since yesterday’s mass rally.

Dozens of soldiers are trying to remove barricades in what appears to be an attempt to restore order ahead of the new working week
