In a significant development for Egypt's economy, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) marked a decline, reaching 12.0% in August 2025, compared to the previous month’s 13.9% in July. This data, updated on September 10, 2025, indicates a noteworthy cooling in the annual inflation rate that had been persistently high over recent months.

The CPI serves as a crucial indicator of inflation by measuring the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for goods and services. The latest downturn in Egypt’s CPI suggests some relief in price pressures, a positive sign for Egyptian consumers and policymakers striving for economic stability and growth.

This year-over-year comparison highlights the August improvement, contrasting with July’s figures and offering a promising sign of moderation in the inflation rate that could continue in the coming months. The easing of inflationary pressures is critical as the country navigates economic challenges and aims to sustain the purchasing power of its populace. With these promising developments, stakeholders remain cautiously optimistic about the country’s economic outlook.
