CAIRO, Feb 8 (Reuters) - General Motors temporarily suspended its operations in Egypt due to a currency crisis, a company source told Reuters on Monday.

"The entire sector has a currency crisis. We cannot make a car without some of the parts. We stopped production temporarily yesterday until we can clear the imports held up in customs," the source said.
