The maximum price for an 80g unsubsidized loaf is capped at EGP 2, a 60g loaf at EGP 1.5, and a 40g loaf at EGP 1. A similar ceiling was applied to \u201cfino\u201d bread, with a 50g roll capped at EGP 2, a 40g roll at EGP 1.5, and a 30g roll at EGP 1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> The government is reviving price controls on essential commodities to shield consumers from mounting inflation exacerbated by the ongoing Iran war, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/africa\/egypt-sets-maximum-unsubsidised-bread-prices-help-consumers-weather-inflation-2026-03-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reports. Some industry players question whether the government can effectively control the unsubsidized market \u2014 a grain industry source warned that bakeries might resort to cutting quality to offset rising expenses, noting that wheat prices recently jumped by about EGP 2k per tonne to around EGP 16k following the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2026\/03\/10\/egypt-hikes-fuel-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fuel hikes<\/a>. Others argue that the added cost per loaf is small enough for bakeries to absorb, adding that natural supply and demand should prevent a drop in bread quality.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 2px;border-width: 0;color: gray;background-color: gray\" \/>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>FINANCE \u2014 Egypt is working to double its currency swap agreement with<\/strong><strong> China to protect the economy from regional instability and falling Suez Canal revenues.<\/strong> Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ati and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi discussed a plan that allows Egypt to pay for Chinese imports in CNY during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MFAEgypt\/posts\/pfbid02sKwCexCjSz8hyeHjNcpoSJpJQQ9TdTwavsYLkWnxm2xd9YiWzhJ34VFwpAasaeFLl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phone call<\/a> last Thursday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Hunting liquidity:<\/strong> To bring in more foreign currency, Egypt is turning to the China Development Bank and plans to issue more \u201cPanda bonds\u201d following a successful USD 500 mn debut. The government also wants to boost Chinese investment in the Suez Canal Economic Zone to improve local manufacturing and technology. It is separately working with the World Bank and the African Development Bank to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EgyptianCabinet\/posts\/pfbid05GL4aK2CAyhT5ARgoaz7ziYJbZztkdyTCiTmgSZAhqjgV1Mv4MQJC4kf8B9zNKxbl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fund large infrastructure projects<\/a> using private capital instead of relying on government funds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> The government is being pragmatic here. Paying for Chinese goods with CNY lets Egypt keep its hard-to-come-by USD in the bank \u2014 giving the country some much-needed breathing room to handle the financial hit from dropping Suez Canal revenues and foreign liquidity pulling out due to the ongoing war.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 2px;border-width: 0;color: gray;background-color: gray\" \/>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>TRADE \u2014 The Agriculture Ministry is pushing to increase exports to<\/strong><strong> Arab and Gulf markets<\/strong>, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EgyptianCabinet\/posts\/pfbid02ktexEEX4H8XbLryQn2hyoUpMwxLgYgM9KN337PWfSemK5Lh43HPFZ6rP1KSZrkN5l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. Agriculture Minister Alaa Farouk pointed to a spike in demand from Gulf importers for specific Egyptian crops, primarily peppers, lettuce, and lemons, as regional buyers scramble to diversify their fresh food sources. However, the ministry argues that this export drive will not trigger domestic shortages, as the push only applies to surplus crops.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> This is a clear crisis-to-advantage maneuver. As traditional trade routes in the Gulf and Red Sea face volatility, the government is leveraging Egypt\u2019s land and maritime links to become the primary breadbasket for the GCC. If exporters can maintain the high technical and sanitary standards required by Gulf authorities under these quasi-emergency conditions, the sector could see a permanent expansion of its market share in the region long after the current tensions subside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">EGP watch<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><a id=\"wwtt2\"><\/a> <strong>The EGP slipped against the greenback on Thursday, <\/strong><strong>breaking a two-day improvement streak<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> By the time banks closed for the weekend, the greenback changed hands at EGP 52.39 (buy) and EGP 52.49 (sell) at the National Bank of Egypt. At several private banks, rates climbed to EGP 52.50 (buy) and EGP 52.60 (sell).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The EGP\u2019s retreat is attributed to continued import pressures and existing foreign <\/strong><strong>currency obligations held by the Central Bank of Egypt<\/strong>, a source in the banking industry tells EnterpriseAM. Interbank FX activity cooled toward the end of the week, as banks relied more on direct inflows from remittances and foreign portfolio investment and less on the interbank market, another banking source tells us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Despite continued pressure on USD liquidity in the market, there are no USD shortages<\/strong>, as foreign currency obligations declined in March compared to February, which had seen elevated USD-denominated maturities, one of our banking sources said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Expe<\/strong><strong>ct the USD\/EGP exchange rate to stay near current levels over the next month<\/strong> if no major geopolitical developments take place, Al Ahly Pharos\u2019 Hany Genena tells us, adding that current fluctuations reflect market flexibility and are no reason to worry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The real test will be<\/strong> in the economy\u2019s ability to get through weeks \u2014 and perhaps months \u2014 of tension without seeing prices and financing costs soar, economist Hany Abou El Fotouh tells us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">On the diplomatic front<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi firmly condemned recent Iranian strikes<\/strong><strong> against the Gulf states, Jordan, and Iraq<\/strong> during a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday, according to an Ittihadiya <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Egy.Pres.Spokesman\/posts\/pfbid0PFwa6EudWdavEvR4c3Drfz6LSdBLs8seADAuQmR6dQPbNYEh6i42u1Az6iSSM7mql\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. El Sisi was clear that Arab states have not supported nor participated in the war against Iran, but have instead actively backed diplomatic efforts to reach a solution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Mediation remains on the table:<\/strong> Despite the firm tone, El Sisi reiterated Egypt\u2019s readiness to mediate and push for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis. He stressed that all parties must adhere to international law, respect national sovereignty, and exercise flexibility to return to the negotiating table. Pezeshkian expressed his appreciation for Egypt\u2019s role in de-escalation, saying that Iran remains committed to brotherly relations and good neighborliness with Arab nations despite the current hostilities.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 2px;border-width: 0;color: gray;background-color: gray\" \/>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 subscribe-box-panel\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"title\">\n<h4 class=\"fw-lighter mb-10\">Get <b style=\"font-weight: bold\">Enterprise<\/b> daily<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-10\">The roundup of news and trends that move your markets and shape corporate agendas delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn-green px-3 d-flex align-items-center\" href=\"\/egypt\/en\/user\/NewsLetters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Subscribe here<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>** DID YOU KNOW that we cover <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/ksa\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saudi Arabia<\/a><\/strong><strong>, the <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UAE<\/a><\/strong><strong>,<\/strong><strong> and the <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/mena-india\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MENA-India<\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/mena-india\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Corridor<\/a><\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">\n<hr style=\"height: 2px;border-width: 0;color: gray;background-color: gray\" \/>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/enterpriseam-egypt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/11\/780.jpg?ssl=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 2px;border-width: 0;color: gray;background-color: gray\" \/>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">PSA<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>WEATHER- <\/strong>Gladly, skies are clearing in Cairo today, with a high of 21\u00b0C and a low of 11\u00b0C, according to our favorite weather app.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Expect possible rain in Alexandria<\/strong>, with a high of 19\u00b0C and a low of 12\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The big story abroad<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The region<\/strong><strong>al war dominated headlines over the weekend. <\/strong>US President Donald Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116227904143399817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called on<\/a> China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the UK to send warships to force open the Strait of Hormuz along with US naval forces.
