<\/a> Egypt\u2019s monthly inflation rate fell for a third month in a row after rising by just 1.7% in April <\/strong>compared to March, the slowest pace since October, according to CAPMAS<\/a>. Annual urban inflation accelerated to 31.5% in April from 30.9% the month before, with food price inflation registering 43.6%. Core inflation decreased marginally to 32.06% in April from 32.25% in March. The annual figures are the highest since June 1986, Reuters<\/a> says. The continued decline in the monthly rate \u201cindicates that the shocks from the flotation and increase in fuel price have tapered off \u2026 Now the inflation rate will behave normally, going up or down depending on seasonal factors, and subject to shocks such as further subsidy cuts<\/strong> \u2026 These figures confirm that there is no need to raise interest rates, as the shocks have subsided,\u201d Arqaam Capital economist Reham El Desoki told Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n
