Egypt summer discount season 2026 and retail regulation updates
On 3 August 2026 2026, Egypt’s Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, led by Minister Sherif Farouk, issued Decree No. 142/2026 to launch a month‑long month-long summer discount season. The decree mandates that each participating retailer may run a two‑week two-week discount period, must obtain prior approval from supply‑trade supply-trade directorates, and must display clear before‑and‑after before-and-after prices to protect consumers. The ministry pledged intensified monitoring to ensure discounts are genuine and to take legal action against misleading practices. The following day day, the Cairo Chamber of Commerce’s ready‑made ready-made clothing committee announced its participation, offering discounts of 10 % 10% to over 40 % 40% on garments. Chamber leaders coordinated with traders to ensure compliance with the decree, compliance, emphasizing the sale’s role in boosting purchasing power, stimulating market activity, power and maintaining price stability ahead of the new school year. On 1 September 2026, Minister Farouk extended the summer sale period until 30 September 2026 to further assist citizens with rising costs. In a separate regulatory move, the Ministry issued new rules regarding the management and transfer of municipal bakeries and food supply outlets. The new decree removes previous restrictions on transferring supply activities to relatives up to the fourth degree, provided that transfers are licensed by the relevant directorate, supported by notarized contracts, and involve candidates with clean criminal records and settled financial accounts with the General Authority for Supply Commodities.
