Industry representatives tell us most food producers are in compliance with the new regulations already and do not expect the campaign to have a significant direct effect on them. Previous amendments to the decree changed the requirement from having producers print manufacturer-suggested retail prices (MSRPs) on their goods\u2019 packaging to just providing the figure in their invoices to retailers. The requirement is now for retailers to display the prices of products on sale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2026What you should keep an eye on here is how this \u201csweeping campaign\u201d will affect smaller retailers and corner shops.<\/strong> Larger supermarkets already display prices fairly prominently in their outlets, but smaller shops and kiosks often don\u2019t. So the question now is whether the campaign will result in wide-scale closures and penalties. If this is the case, then the campaign could also impact producers as they would see their sales channels limited \u2014 at least temporarily. Still, the market does not seem too concerned, with one industry insider telling us \u201cthere are more than 400,000 sales points across Egypt \u2026 the government does not have the power to effectively monitor all that.\u201d He expects to <strong>see an intensified, and very public, crackdown on a limited number of shops that will fade away soon after<\/strong> and for business to return shortly to normal. We\u2019ll be touching base with friends in the industry and will report back at the end of next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The crackdown traces its roots to a drive by the Consumer Protection Agency <\/strong>to clamp down on what it sees as price gouging by retailers during a period of spiraling inflation following the float of the EGP in late 2016.<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s warning to the opposition yesterday is dominating international media coverage <\/strong>of Egypt this morning. The Associated Press writes that a \u201cvisibly furious\u201d president sent a \u201csharp warning\u201d as a \u201csignal that authorities will tolerate no questioning of the legitimacy of the March 26-28 vote.\u201d The president, speaking at the official opening of the Zohr supergiant gas field, \u201csaid he would not allow a repeat of the 2011 uprising.\u201d We have more coverage in Egypt in the News, below, or you can go check out highlights from the speech now on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/news\/egypts-leader-serves-opposition-parties-with-stern-warning\/691919227\">Associated Press<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-egypt-politics\/egypts-sisi-warns-opponents-as-calls-to-boycott-election-build-idUSKBN1FK363?il=0\">Reuters<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-01-31\/thinking-of-another-arab-spring-forget-it-egypt-s-el-sisi-says\">Bloomberg<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where, oh where, has my investment map gone?
