Egypt’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) marked a notable climb in March, hitting 13.60%, according to the latest statistics updated on April 10, 2025. This increase comes after February's CPI was recorded at 12.80%, indicating a persistent upward trend in inflationary pressures across the country.

The CPI change, which shows the inflation rate over a year, reflects comparisons between the corresponding months in 2024 and 2025. While February witnessed a year-over-year CPI increase of 12.80%, March saw this figure rise by 0.80 percentage points, suggesting heightened cost pressures impacting Egyptian consumers over the past year.

The acceleration in Egypt's inflation rate highlights ongoing financial challenges for policymakers who are tasked with balancing economic growth and price stability. As consumers face rising costs, the Egyptian government and financial authorities may need to consider adjustments to monetary policy or interventions aimed at curbing inflation without stifling economic momentum. How these dynamics will unfold remains pivotal for Egypt's economic outlook in the months ahead.
