The deputy chairman of the Egyptian Poultry Association, Tharwat El Zeiny, said that chicken prices won\u2019t rise any further because \u2026 chicken prices are already high.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price controls on sugar? <\/strong>Abdel Moneim Khalil, head of internal trade at the Supply Ministry, floated the idea of putting price controls on sugar in the event of price gouging (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xKmFb6NvRG8\">watch, runtime: 5:27<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new Moody\u2019s report provided another source of positivity: <\/strong>Kelma Akhira\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi dedicated a segment to explaining a new Moody\u2019s report out yesterday which said that the decision to devalue the currency will improve Egypt\u2019s funding situation. Amr Hassanein, chairman of rating agency Meris, joined El Hadidi to discuss the report (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0qTrAYhFTjk\">watch, runtime: 7:16<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>MEANWHILE- The Madbouly government struck an optimistic note on wheat supplies <\/strong><strong>just days after a key global wheat pact went belly up<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>The state is moving to reassure the public that the country\u2019s wheat supplies will not be threatened if exports of Ukrainian wheat are suspended long term. Ahmed El Attar, head of the Agriculture Ministry\u2019s quarantine authority, said that the government has taken \u201cpre-emptive steps\u201d to secure wheat supplies and has built up reserves of strategic commodities (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JWu4oi0qeMw\">watch, runtime: 3:04<\/a>). This came a day after Russia pulled out of the UN-brokered agreement that allowed Ukraine to resume grain exports, threatening to cause a shortage of wheat and reignite the global food crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No, bread subsidies haven\u2019t changed: <\/strong>The government refuted reports it plans to lift bread subsidies and replacing them with cash support for the neediest.
