School supplies cost rise in Cairo
Egyptian families are preparing for the new school year with most prices for school supplies remaining stable, despite some products such as pencil cases and notebooks increasing by about 15% due to higher costs of paper materials globally, and a 25% rise in printing costs for external textbooks. The market is known for its diversity of products, both local and imported, with imported items accounting for approximately 60%, while a significant reliance is placed on local production for pens, with 90% of the market produced domestically. It is expected that demand will gradually increase as the start of school approaches, with products continuing to be available without substantial price pressures if cost factors remain stable.
