I think it was an act of protest, he is the Finance Minister, so I don't see how he would be responsible for it (any more than any other minister anyway).
ETA: they have expanded the article btw, it quotes him now:
Quote:
"Despite the fact that there might not be direct responsibility on the government's part, responsibility lies, ultimately, with the government," state news agency Mena quoted Mr Beblawi as saying.
"The current circumstances are very difficult and require a new and different way of thinking and working," he said.
