CAIRO, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- The growth rate of Egypt's gross domestic product (GDP) declined to 1 percent in the first quarter of the current fiscal year compared with 2.5 percent in the same period last year, marking a 60-percent drop Lorenzo Carter Bengals Jersey , the Finance Ministry said in a report Tuesday.
The report also showed that the investments in Egypt declined by 7.3 percent year on year and attributed the decline to " security reasons and political developments."
On Monday, Egyptian Finance Minister Ahmed Galal said that the interim government will inject 33.9 billion Egyptian pounds (about 4.87 billion U.S. dollars) to boost the struggling economy as a second stimulus package since last August, admitting that most of the finance came in aid from the United Arab Emirates.
Tuesday's report stated that the sectors of tourism and natural gas were among the lowest contributors to the GDP growth rate in the period.
"The impact of the stimulus is still lagging. However, with the roadmap on track and political stability restored, growth in these sectors should definitely pick up speed Leighton Vander Esch Cowboys Jersey ," the report reassured.
Experts said the decline was expected in light of the country's political instability and security condition, particularly following the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi by the army last July.
Over the past few months, Egypt has been in escalated turmoil due to constant pro-Morsi protests and strikes by doctors, policemen and textile workers in demand for higher wages and discontent over mounting terrorism activities.
Since Morsi's ouster, the Gulf Arab states Lamar Jackson Ravens Jersey , including the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, supported Egypt with 11 billion dollars within a period of six months in the forms of grants and loans.

The interim government says the foreign debts have reached 45.8 billion dollars by the end of 2013, while economists estimate the debts exceeded 52 billion dollars based on separate official statements from the Central Bank of Egypt and concerned ministers.
The country's ailing economy is also reflected in a budget deficit of over 12.8 billion dollars and a drop in foreign currency reserves of 18.9 billion dollars (from 36 billion dollars in January 2011 to 17.1 billion dollars in January 2014).
Most artists have several songs that are associated with their name, and for Shania Twain these songs are evident. After all Kyle Lauletta Patriots Jersey , few of us can hear the titles ?(If You?re Not in It For Love) I?m Outa Here!,? ?Come on Over,? ?Don?t Be Stupid ( You Know I love You),? ?Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under,? and of course ?Man! I Feel Like a Woman? and ?Any Man of Mine Kolton Miller Raiders Jersey ,? without immediately thinking of Shania Twain. But not only is Shania Twain one of the most recognizable voices in country music, she also has a unique story.
Many female country artists share a similar story: girl is born somewhere in the Deep South, girl shows talent in singing as a child, girl meets guitar, girl falls in love with guitar Kerryon Johnson Lions Jersey , girl and guitar go to Nashville, girl and guitar get big break, girl becomes famous. But Shania Twain?s story is very far off the beaten path. And far means really, really far. The life of Shania Twain is a rags to riches story of a young woman who found herself in music from an early age and conquered all the odds to take her music as far as she could go.
Shania was actually born Eileen Twain in 1965, in the small town of Windsor in Ontario Kemoko Turay Colts Jersey , Canada. As a child she showed incredible promise early on singing, writing music and playing her guitar. Her parents pushed her to perform, often getting her up in the middle of the night in order to take her somewhere and have her play. This set the stage for what would happen later in her life. When she was in her early twenties her parents died in a car crash, leaving her to take care of her younger siblings. So she managed to make a living with her voice, and in the process began the last few steps towards fame.
After a few years had passed Shania had her younger siblings set out on their own paths and she was able to launch what has now become one of the most celebrated careers in country music to date. Her self titled debut album reached number 31 on Heatseekers and 67 on Top Country Albums in 1993 Justin Reid Packers Jersey , as a solid introduction to the world of music. It did a good job because in 1995 she launched The Woman IN Me and won her first Grammy award for Best Country Album. It was an incredible achievement for a second album, and showed that this was one artist who was going places.
Her second and third Grammy Awards were for the song ?You?re Still the One,? which received Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. It is still one of the most heart warming romantic country songs on the list. Shania etched in verse the hopes of every young woman when she sang the lyrics to the chorus: (You re still the one) You re still the one I run to The one that I belong to You re the one I want for life (You re still the one) You re still the one that I love The only one I dream of You re still the one I kiss good night
