Egypt interest rates expected to stay steady
Analysts expect the Central Bank of Egypt to continue maintaining interest rates at their current levels by the end of this week, despite the high inflation rate which reached 14.5% in August 2026, according to official data. This comes as real interest rates remain positive, and there is no urgent need to adjust them. Experts believe that keeping interest rates stable will support the economy in the current period, with the possibility of raising them by 100 basis points if inflationary pressures persist or if geopolitical developments escalate. It is anticipated that the bank will maintain its policy until the end of 2026, with a potential cut of 100 basis points if geopolitical conditions stabilize and inflation does not rise further.
