Radwa El Swaify, being the head of research at Pharos Securities Brokerage digged out that "This month was the lowest month-on-month increase in three years."
"The figures are lower than our expectations" He said.
Mr Swaify added that "We expect next month';;;s figures to see a rise between 0.5 and 1 percentage points and for current rises in vegetable prices to be reflected" sequel to the IMF-backed economic reform programme been carried out by Egypt since 2016 which saw inflation rise to a high of 33 per cent the following year.

Even with the prolonged inflationary thrusts from the increase in the prices of fruits and vegetable, it has since subsided.
