Ministry of Supply concludes on 5-pound tourist bread sale
The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade confirmed that selling the tourist bread at prices reaching 4 or 5 pounds is unacceptable. It is intensifying its campaigns to monitor markets and ensure compliance with weights and prices. The ministry indicated that penalties for violations include closing the bakery, withdrawing the license, and imprisonment, with more than a thousand violations recorded since the beginning of 2026. It also clarified that the price of tourist bread is subject to supply and demand mechanisms, while weights and prices are regulated through ministerial directives. The ministry emphasized the stability of the subsidized bread system, noting that one-third of it is available in 26,000 bakeries nationwide, at a price of 20 piasters per loaf, weighing 90 grams. The government is also close to implementing a cash support system within the current fiscal year.
