The nation’s talking heads were back on the airwaves last night following the end of Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr. While Israel’s war on Gaza and its escalating tensions with Iran were top of the agenda last night, the nation’s hosts also found the time to cover falling bread prices.

Some good news fresh out of the oven: “The prices of non-subsidized bread are expected to drop by between 20% and 25%, thanks to the decline in the prices of flour as a result of the stability of the exchange rate and the elimination of the parallel market for the USD,” Abdullah Ghorab, chief of the bakeries division of the General Federation of Chambers of Commerce told Lamees El Hadidi on Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 7:48). Some bakeries had already begun lowering prices two days ago, he added. Ghorab phoned into El Hayat El Youm to discuss the topic (watch, runtime: 5:01).
