Ministry to Enforce New Supply Rules
The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade in Egypt is moving towards implementing new rules to refine the subsidized support system. These include excluding beneficiaries who hold commercial records or tax cards and raising eligibility criteria based on income, ownership, electricity consumption, vehicles, and education levels. The procedures began last June, resulting in the exclusion of approximately 3.2 million citizens so far. Additionally, preparations are underway for a gradual transition from a commodity-based support system to a cash subsidy system, with the possibility of providing around 325 Egyptian pounds per individual starting January 2026. The goal is to improve resource allocation and reduce waste, although there are concerns about repeating the issues experienced with the removal of previous beneficiaries.
