He has promises to keep,And Miles To Go Before He Can SleepMahmoud Mohieldin is one of those people you either love or hate there's no gray zone, no safe middle ground. As the brashest and most outspoken of the Nazif Cabinet's Economic Team, where he joins Minister of Trade and Industry Rachid Mohamed Rachid and veteran Minister of Finance and Insurance Youssef Boutros-Ghali, Mohieldin has been working overtime since July 2004 to kick-start the nation's ailing economy.

Two years on, the statistics are promising and the programs are working, but the Economic Team still lacks credibility on the street. read more.
