Egypt Inflation Rate at 7-Month Low of 13.9% | Economic Update

Stay updated with the latest developments in the forex market. Here's the most recent news from RobotFX.

Egypt’s annual urban inflation eased for the second consecutive month to 13.9% in September 2026, down from 14.5% in August, reaching its lowest level since February. The moderation was largely driven by the diminishing impact of earlier fuel price hikes. Transport inflation edged down to 24.3% in September from 24.4% in August, while inflation in housing and utilities slowed more markedly, falling to 35.2% from 42.8%.

In early March, Egypt raised fuel prices by roughly 14% to 17% across a broad range of petroleum products, its first fuel price increase of the year, in response to elevated global oil prices. Since then, price pressures have eased in several categories: inflation declined for clothing and footwear (13.9% vs 14.0% in August), health (4.5% vs 4.6%), and alcoholic beverages and narcotics (8.3% vs 9.1%).

By contrast, inflation picked up in some other components, including food and beverages (7.2% vs 6.3% in August) and furnishings (17.7% vs 16.9%). On a monthly basis, the consumer price index (CPI) rose by 1.3% in September, following a modest 0.1% increase in August, marking the sharpest monthly gain in four months.
