2025年8月,埃及的年度城市通货膨胀率连续第三个月放缓至12.0%,低于7月的13.9%,此前由于燃料价格上涨和低于12.7%的市场预测,5月达到了四个月来的最高点。这标志着自2022年3月以来的最低通胀率,主要是由于食品通胀急剧放缓,降至2021年5月以来的最低点(2.1%对7月的3.4%)。多个类别的价格涨幅也有所放缓,包括运输(26.8%对7月份的41.5%)、餐馆和酒店(13.8%对15.2%)、服装(14.8%对14.9%)以及杂项商品和服务(12.0%对13.6%)。与此同时,住房(16.2%对15.9%)和家具(13.4%对12.9%)的价格加速上涨。通信通胀保持稳定(12.1%)。按月计算,8月份消费者价格指数(CPI)上涨0.4%,从7月份的0.5%的跌幅反弹,标志着三个月来的首次月度上涨。
The annual urban inflation rate in Egypt slowed for the third consecutive month to 12.0% in August 2025, down from 13.9% in July, after reaching a four-month high in May due to rising fuel prices and below market forecasts of 12.7%. This marked the lowest inflation rate since March 2022, mainly driven by a sharp slowdown in food inflation, which fell to its lowest level since May 2021 (2.1% vs 3.4% in July). Price increases also moderated across several categories, including transport (26.8% vs 41.5% in July), restaurants and hotels (13.8% vs 15.2%), clothing (14.8% vs 14.9%), and miscellaneous goods and services (12.0% vs 13.6%). Meanwhile, prices accelerated for housing (16.2% vs 15.9%) and furnishings (13.4% vs 12.9%). Inflation remained steady for communications (at 12.1%). On a monthly basis, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% in August, rebounding from a 0.5% decline in July, and marking the first monthly increase in three months.
