Food Subsidies
The increase in available products comes to allow users to get subsidized products as per their desires, head of the Food Industries Holding Company says.
The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade distributed an increased volume of subsidized goods to retailers starting Saturday for the month of July.
The latest economic decisions taken by President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will cost the government a total of LE 75 billion ($4.1 billion).
Some parliament want to propose increasing food subsidy allocations to LE 40-50 per card, Parliamentarian Mostafa Bakry said Wednesday.
