The deposit is part of $12 billion in aid that Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and theUAE promised Egypt after the military deposed president Mohamed Mursi on July 3.

“Yes. The Kuwait $2 billion (has been) received,” Hisham Ramez told Reuters in a text message.

Ramez said one week ago that Egypt had returned a $2 billion deposit from Qatar, which strongly supported Mursi, after negotiations to turn it into three-year bonds had failed.
