00:00The Egyptian market may soon witness another drop in food prices after the government recently announced that it will target a group of products and take steps to contribute to their lower prices.
00:13In a step aimed at reducing the smoking rate, Siyama has recorded the lowest rate since the start of the current financial year at 32.5% in April,
00:23in response to a decline in food and drink prices for the first time in a year,
00:28which resulted in the government agreeing with merchants and manufacturers to lower the prices of goods by a percentage of up to 30%.
00:35We had reached a very difficult stage when the government intervened and, of course, the price of spending on these things,
00:43which resulted in the government intervening and, of course, the price of spending on these things,
00:48which resulted in the government intervening and, of course, the price of spending on these things,
00:53and some of the products reached 25-30%, and a very high pressure was applied.
00:58And the citizen's awareness of this has increased a lot.
01:02But with the drop in relative prices, many citizens still face difficulties in meeting their basic needs due to the limited income.
01:10The government needs to make more efforts to lower prices and take more measures to reduce financial burdens on one hand,
01:17and adjust markets on the other.
01:20This is in line with the expansion of social protection programs to include broader sections of citizens.
01:26Prices, of course, have dropped. Very simple things.
01:29And there are things that surprised me by the fact that their prices have increased,
01:32even though they used to be lower.
01:34Prices are reasonable.
01:36But we want prices to go down a little more.
01:40As a government organization or a consumer organization,
01:45prices should go back to where they were.
01:49Prices are relatively high in terms of income.
01:55But the advantage is that they are available.
01:57So far, the relations are the same.
01:59And the income is expensive.
02:01The food is expensive.
02:02The food is expensive.
02:04I don't know what to buy.
02:06Even the chicken.
02:08Nothing has gone down.
02:10The fish have gone down in the country, but not here.
02:13Due to the changes that have been made to the exchange rate,
02:16the Egyptian government recently decided to raise the minimum wage for workers in the government and private sectors to 6,000 pounds,
02:23as of May.
02:25The Egyptian government is ready to announce a reduction in the prices of a new set of food products
02:30in the coming period,
02:32in an attempt to reduce inflation rates on the one hand
02:34and to reduce the financial burdens on citizens on the other.
