Egyptians went to the polls on Tuesday for the third referendum in three years to approve a new constitution - this time to validate the military ouster of their first fairly elected president, Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Mounir Makar is an economist and former banker in Egypt, who now also runs his own farm. He spoke to Mark Whittaker about what he thinks the constitutional referendum will mean for his country's economic future.
