Egypt’s inflation pressures show signs of easing as the Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) recorded a noteworthy decline in December 2025. According to the latest data update on January 11, 2026, Egypt's Core CPI has decreased to 11.80%, down from 12.50% in the previous month of November 2025.

This year-over-year comparison illustrates a decline in inflation for the December period, suggesting a possible cooling trend in the Egyptian economy. The reduction in the Core CPI indicates that inflation risks are slightly lower, which may influence future monetary policy by the Central Bank of Egypt as it seeks to balance economic growth with inflation management.

Overall, this downward shift in Core CPI reflects positive movement for Egypt's economic conditions and may signal benefits for both consumers and businesses through reduced cost pressures in the coming months. As always, stakeholders will continue to monitor these developments closely to gauge the longer-term impacts on the economy.
