The annual inflation rate in Egyptian cities decreased to 14.5% in August, down from 14.9% in July, according to the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics.

Core inflation increased to an average of 14.7%, with interest rates remaining unchanged by the Central Bank, reflecting the government’s efforts to control inflation and stabilize prices.
