Egypt’s Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade has launched a price reduction initiative to stabilize markets and lower the cost of living. Minister Sherif Farouk ordered an increased supply of high-demand items, such as rice, cheese, and tomato paste, to ensure availability.

The initiative has expanded through partnerships with commercial chains like Lulu Market and includes plans for a permanent market in the Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate to reduce intermediary costs. In the Giza Governorate, the program has reached 35 supply outlets, including locations under the ‘Gamayeti’ project, offering essential goods at discounts of up to 25% compared to local market rates. The ministry continues to conduct field tours to monitor supply regularity and prevent shortages.
