WASHINGTON - 11 October 2019: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Friday said that policies of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) are aimed at continuing the decrease of inflation rates in Egypt.

In its fifth and final revision of the performance of the Egyptian economy, the IMF expected that inflation will further go down to around five percent.

It added that social protection policies are focusing on important sectors such as health, education and infrastructure
