Dr. Mohamed Fouad, the head of the parliamentary bloc of the Justice Party, discussed transitioning to a cash subsidy system instead of in-kind support in Egypt. He emphasized that direct cash support is the most successful approach, highlighting the "Semi-Cash" system, in which amounts are credited onto food card balances for purchasing goods, but cannot be withdrawn as cash. He explained that this shift aims to reduce waste within the bread subsidy system and involves expanding the list of subsidized goods, while maintaining a support system that includes 68 million citizens, making it one of the largest in the world.
