Mohamed Ali Khair on bread weight response

Finance Minister Dr. Sherif Farouk revealed that the subsidized bread system is being subjected to embezzlements amounting to 30 billion Egyptian pounds. He mentioned there is a move to integrate support into a cash support system, along with adjusting the bread portion size to be larger, with a fixed price for each weight. He also pointed out that 60% of bakeries produce bread weighing 60 grams instead of the standard 90 grams, which results in support loss. Furthermore, he stated that 850,000 non-eligible citizens have been removed from support cards, and the funds freed up will be redirected to strengthen support for citizens.
