<\/a> Inflation edges up slightly in September \u2014 but is still near record low:<\/strong> Egypt\u2019s annual urban inflation accelerated to 3.7% in September, up marginally from 3.4% in August<\/a> \u2014 the lowest level since 2005, according to calculations made from state statistics agency Capmas figures (pdf)<\/a>. Inflation has continued to ease over the past two months from 4.2% in July<\/a> as food prices resume their decline on a monthly basis. Urban and rural food and beverage prices fell 3.5% y-o-y in September and 0.6% m-o-m.<\/p>\n

The September reading is lower than what is typically expected, considering seasonal factors<\/strong> such as the reopening of schools, which usually drive monthly prices up 1% as schools reopen, Pharos head of research Radwa El Swaify told Enterprise. The annual headline rate is also well below the Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s (CBE) inner band target of 6-12%, Elswaify points out.<\/p>\n

The CBE is expected to release today the figure for September's core inflation<\/strong>, which strips out volatile items such as food and fuel. Annual core inflation increased to 0.8% in August, up from 0.7% in July. Core inflation recorded -0.2% on a monthly basis (compared with -0.4% in August 2019 and -0.1% in July).<\/p>\n

Reminder: <\/strong>Too-low inflation could lead to IMF consultation: <\/strong>Economists suggested to Reuters last week<\/a> that persistently low inflation figures could trigger consultations with the IMF later this year. Under the USD 5.2 bn stand-by facility Egypt had agreed to with the fund, authorities are to consult with IMF technical experts should the rate fall below 6% by the end of September, and with the executive board if it dips below 4%. The CBE is next scheduled to review interest rates on 12 November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
