Egypt's annual core inflation rate slows to 13.8% in April

Monthly core inflation also moderated, with consumer prices increasing by 1.1 percent in April, compared to 2 percent in March and 1.2 percent in April 2025. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, is a key indicator of underlying inflation trends. Separately, the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics CAPMAS reported that Egypt’s nationwide consumer price index reached 287.9 points in April, with a monthly inflation of 1.2 percent.

Annual headline inflation across the republic marginally slowed to 13.4 percent in April, down from 13.5 percent in March, as per CAPMAS. The statistics agency attributed the monthly price increase primarily to rises in various food and consumer goods categories.
