Prices in Egypt are confused between the government, merchants and markets. The Egyptian government called on producers and suppliers of food commodities to reduce prices by significant proportions after they rose significantly in recent months.
Egyptians are awaiting a reduction in prices in the markets, as promised by the government. In one of the famous commercial chains in Cairo, the prices of some types of eggs, poultry and cheese increased and a official told Al Jazeera Net, “Most products maintained their prices without any decrease after the decision to raise the price of diesel by about 21%.”
