New Inflation Pressures
The risk of a new wave of inflation in Egypt is growing amid a 13.8% rise in the dollar since the start of 2026, shipping disruptions and freight costs that remain 124% above their level a year ago, and rising global sugar and oil prices. Additional shipping charges could add around $182 per 40-foot container. Although annual inflation fell to 12% in October, monthly core inflation rose to 1.2%, and external pressures have yet to be fully passed on to consumer prices. Experts say exchange-rate stability and improved shipping conditions could ease the pressure, while a combination of shipping disruptions, higher commodity prices and a further decline in the pound could lead to broader price increases.
