Ägypten Verbraucherpreise

The annual urban inflation rate in Egypt slowed for the second consecutive month to 13.9% in July 2025, down from 14.9% in June, after reaching a four-month high in May due to increases in fuel prices. This marked the lowest inflation rate since April, mainly driven by a sharp slowdown in food prices — the lowest since June 2021 (3.4% vs 6.9% in June). Price increases also moderated across several categories, including transport (41.5% vs 42.2%), restaurants and hotels (15.2% vs 17.3%), clothing (14.9% vs 16.0%), furnishings (12.9% vs 13.8%), communications (12.1% vs 12.2%), and miscellaneous goods and services (13.6% vs. 13.7%). On a monthly basis, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell by 0.5% in July, following a 0.1% decline in June. This marked the second consecutive month of deflation and the steepest drop since May 2024, driven by significant declines in the prices of meat and poultry (-4.9%), fruits (-11%), and vegetables (-7%).
