Egypt's stock exchange, which has been shut since 27 January because of political turmoil, is to remain closed for an unspecified period.
Officials say trading will not resume until stability returns to the economy and the financial sector.
The BBC reports the exchange has also postponed its reopening until Sunday, 20 February, at the earliest.
The doors were closed more than two weeks ago after the index lost about 17% of its value in two days of trading.

There will be 48 hours notice of when the exchange is to open again.
