The government expects inflation to ease starting in November or December, Finance Minister Amr El Garhy said on Thursday, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/egypt-economy-inflation-idUSL9N1G706G\">Reuters<\/a>. Saxo Bank is slightly more optimistic, saying it expects inflation to begin to fall within six months, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almalnews.com\/Pages\/StoryDetails.aspx?ID=328310\">Al Mal<\/a>. The ministry <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/egypt-economy-inflation-average-idUSL9N1G706M\">expects<\/a> inflation to average 15.2% in its 2017-18 budget year, Deputy Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This all makes sense when you\u2019re calculating subsidy spending<\/strong>, but we still maintain that the month-on-month figure is the more meaningful indicator until December (ie: until after the one-year anniversary of the float of the EGP) for the rest of us.

The food subsidy current ration card system allows holders EGP 21 worth of goods each month offered at state-approved supermarkets in addition to five loaves of bread per person per day. State spending on food subsidies is <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/03\/27\/subsidy-moochers-will-not-be-removed-this-year\/\">set to reach EGP 86 bn in the coming budget year<\/a>. Supply Minister Ali Moselhy noted the draft budget sent to the cabinet had not included such an increase in monthly subsidies and denied any plans to increase them, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=30032017&id=995da793-c1d0-4b0b-a920-7eea30b95fd3\">Al Shorouk<\/a>.
