WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday it had reached a staff-level agreement with Egypt to disburse another $2 billion (£1.5 billion) in funds from the country's $12 billion extended fund facility arrangement.

The funds will be available upon IMF executive board approval of a fourth review of the three-year programme, the IMF said in a statement.
