In a reflection of ongoing inflationary trends, Egypt's Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) has experienced an increase, rising to 11.30% in September 2025 from the previous 10.70% recorded in the same period. The data, updated as of October 8, 2025, marks a notable year-over-year comparison indicating a steady upward trajectory in the cost of living.

The Core CPI, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, provides a clearer picture of the enduring inflation pressures within the economy. This rise in September signifies that underlying inflation pressures remain persistent, potentially posing challenges to economic stability and policy decisions aimed at containing inflation.

With September's figures now unveiled, analysts will closely monitor upcoming economic releases for indications of inflation trends and potential impacts on consumer affordability and monetary policy. As Egypt navigates these economic shifts, the Core CPI's continued ascent signals the vigilance required in managing inflationary pressures in future fiscal planning.
