CAIRO - 10 November 2025: The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has reported that the annual core inflation rate in Egypt rose to 12.1 percent in October 2025 from 11.3 percent in September.
On a monthly basis, the core consumer price index recorded 2 percent in October 2025 compared with 1.3 percent in October 2024 and 1.5 percent in September 2025.
Core inflation excludes volatile items such as food and energy, offering a clearer picture of underlying price movements.
Meanwhile, Egypt’s Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) announced that the annual inflation rate for the entire country declined slightly to 10.1 percent in October 2025, compared with 10.3 percent in September.
However, urban inflation saw an uptick, rising to 12.5 percent in October from 11.7 percent the previous month, marking the first increase after four consecutive months of easing inflation.
On a monthly basis, inflation in urban areas increased by 1.8 percent in October compared with September, driven primarily by adjustments in key commodity prices. The rise followed Egypt’s second fuel price increase this year. The government has committed to maintaining price stability for petroleum products for at least one year moving forward.
