Egypt's new prime minister confirmed Mumtaz al-Saeed as the country's finance minister on Tuesday, state television reported, but there was no word on a new interior minister more than two weeks after the last cabinet resigned. The ruling military generals have brought veteran politician Kamal al-Ganzouri out of retirement to lead a new interim government but he has struggled to put together a team, compounding political uncertainty nine months after Hosni Mubarak was ousted in a popular uprising. Saeed is a Finance Ministry veteran who was pulled out of retirement to serve as deputy to outgoing Finance Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, who was appointed in July, a ministry source said.   Egypt confirms Mumtaz al-Saeed as finmin -state TV | Agricultural Commodities | Reuters
