Average inflation for the year will likely come in at 5%, which is slightly below the lower end of the Central Bank of Egypt\u2019s 6-12% target range, she said. Beltone\u2019s Alia Mamdouh also expects inflation to \u201chover closer to the lower bound\u201d of the target range by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reminder:<\/strong> Under the terms of USD 5.2 bn stand-by facility agreed with the IMF, authorities<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/09265a82-4346-4d8b-9df6-ca74beaf0fec\">are expected to consult with IMF technical experts<\/a> should the inflation rate fall below 6% by the end of September, and with the executive board if it dips below 4%.
