Reasons for rising inflation despite limited growth
The annual inflation rate in Egypt rose to 12.8% in September 2026, up from 12.7% in August, amid ongoing monthly price increases. This is due to simultaneous rises in food prices, especially vegetables, which increased by more than 15%, along with higher costs for housing, clothing, and services. The housing sector saw an increase of 0.8%, while rent and maintenance expenses rose by 0.9%. As a result, monthly inflation jumped to 1.5%, driven by the crisis in vegetable, meat, and fruit prices, which impacts household budgets and underscores the importance of monitoring developments in food and energy prices.
