CAIRO, March 21 (Reuters) - Egypt's government has
decided to suspend the sale of a stake in state-controlled
Telecom Egypt because of market conditions, three
sources close to the matter said.
Telecom Egypt said on March 7 that the government had
started to consider a sale of an additional stake in the
company. Sources had previously told Reuters the company was
seeking to sell a 10% stake.
