> Egypt’s annual headline inflation rate was likely higher in July, reaching 15.6% compared with 14.3% in June, according to a Reuters poll. The expected acceleration was attributed to an unfavorable base effect and increased pressure on both food and non-food prices. The reading would mark a renewed rise in inflationary pressure in the country.
