Ministry confirms no bread price rise from August discount
The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade announced that the implementation of the direct debit system starting August 1, 2026, will not affect the price of subsidized bread or the support provided to citizens. It confirmed that the price of the bread will remain at 20 piastres, and that each individual is allowed up to five loaves per day. The system will also continue to operate the bread points system, which allows for the exchange of uncollected loaves for points that can be used to purchase subsidized goods. The aim of this system is to organize the financial cycle between bakeries and mills without compromising the rights of beneficiaries. There will be no changes to the support or the mechanism for obtaining bread. The Ministry also affirms that bakeries are prepared to implement the system, and that the only change involves improving financial procedures.
