2026.05.0612:00:00UTC+00Egypt’s Annual Inflation Eases Slightly in April, CPI Slips to 14.9%

Egypt’s year-over-year consumer inflation edged down in April 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) registering 14.90%, a marginal decrease from the previous reading of 15.20%. The data, updated on 06 May 2026, indicate a modest easing of price pressures in the North African economy.

Both the current and previous CPI indicators are based on year-over-year comparisons—measuring price changes in April 2026 against April a year earlier, and the prior reading against the same month a year earlier as well. The slight decline signals that while inflation remains elevated, the pace of annual price increases has softened somewhat, a development that will be closely watched by investors and policymakers monitoring Egypt’s inflation trajectory and potential implications for monetary policy and real incomes.
