Annual consumer price inflation in Egyptian cities rose to 6.6 percent in September, from 5.7 percent in August. According to the data of the Egyptian Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics, on Sunday.
Inflation remained in the range of (7 +/- 2 percent) i.e. 5 to 9 percent targeted by the Central Bank of Egypt. The bank meets on October 28 to set interest rates.
“Monthly inflation came in higher than our expectations,” said Allen Sandeep of Naeem Brokerage, according to Reuters. Mainly due to a jump in the prices of vegetables and meat. The food price index rose 3.5 percent on a monthly basis.
