Mubarak's son says tough economic decisions coming

The son of Egypt's president, Gamal Mubarak, said Monday his party has to make "tough" economic decisions to improve his country's economic prospects, mentioning changes in social programs.

Mubarak said the steps would include pushing through a new pension and social insurance law as well as encouraging private sector finances into public infrastructure projects to raise three times as much as the government investment budget. (AP)
