No distinction has been made on the customs treatment for imported components and fully-assembled cars, which could raise input costs and force local assemblers to raise prices at a time when they are struggling to compete with no-customs imports, Saad said. This could discourage investments in the sector, as well as hamper efforts to persuade international companies to assemble cars in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background: <\/b>The Finance Ministry decided earlier this week <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/09\/02\/egypt-scraps-monthly-customs-rate-bringing-back-daily-system\/\">to scrap the monthly customs exchange rate<\/a> introduced in 2017, and revert to setting the rate on a daily basis according to FX rates announced by the central bank. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/09\/03\/floating-customs-exchange-rate-could-raise-inflation-analysts\/\">Analysts warned yesterday<\/a> that the move could drive inflation up in the coming months if the EGP falls against the greenback.
