As part of the enduring strategic relations between the Arab Republic of Egypt and Mediterranean basin countries across various sectors—particularly regarding the prevention and combating of corruption and transnational organized crime—the Administrative Control Authority (ACA) of Egypt hosted the International Maritime Forum on Combating Corruption and Illicit Trafficking in the Mediterranean. Held in cooperation with the French General Directorate of Customs and Indirect Taxes from September 13 to 17, 2026, in Cairo and Alexandria, the forum’s opening session was attended by Mr. Amr Adel, Head of the ACA, and Mr. ةric Chevallier, Ambassador of France to Egypt. Participants included representatives from several Mediterranean basin nations, a select group of officials and experts from international institutions and organizations, and representatives from national law enforcement agencies.
The opening session featured a review of Egyptian and French efforts to prevent and combat corruption, as well as initiatives to modernize and enhance the efficiency of customs systems. These efforts aim to facilitate international trade, support the investment climate, and boost economic competitiveness. The session also highlighted Egypt’s state information infrastructure project and its role in interconnecting and leveraging databases to enable the early detection of patterns and indicators linked to illicit activities. This capability allows for the prediction of potential risks, thereby supporting proactive measures to combat customs-related crimes and mitigate their impact on the national economy. The forum’s activities included a series of specialized sessions and workshops addressing topics and issues related to combating transnational organized crime. Discussions covered key illicit trafficking routes in the Mediterranean, the modus operandi of criminal networks, and mechanisms to counter money laundering and the use of digital currencies amidst rapid global developments. The forum culminated in the issuance of the "Alexandria Declaration," which serves as a regional roadmap for sustaining and strengthening joint action; it incorporates innovative policies and mechanisms aligned with rapidly evolving challenges, thereby contributing to efforts to combat emerging patterns of organized crime and illicit trafficking in the Mediterranean region.

Rasha Abdel-Aal, Head of the Egyptian Tax Authority, announced the repeal of Article 18 of the Income Tax Law—which previously served as the legislative basis for directives regarding net profit ratios and estimated or lump-sum tax assessments—as part of recent legislative amendments.
Abdel-Aal stated that repealing this article aims to eliminate estimated tax assessments in favor of electronic and documentary audits based on digital invoices and receipts, thereby helping to reduce tax disputes arising from lump-sum estimates.
She explained that executive decisions and directives issued pursuant to Article 18 will remain in effect for tax periods up to and including 2027, while the new tax treatment—based on proper books, records, and digital systems—will apply starting from the 2028 tax period.
She added that the amendments also removed the minimum revenue threshold for mandatory bookkeeping (previously set at 500,000 EGP), meaning all taxpayers are now legally required to maintain proper books and records.
She noted that these measures coincide with the expanded implementation of electronic systems—most notably the electronic invoice and electronic receipt systems—aligning with the Ministry of Finance and Tax Authority’s strategic shift toward relying on digital data and transactions for tax audits and assessments. It called upon owners of projects and business activities with an annual turnover not exceeding EGP 20 million to take advantage of the simplified tax system and the benefits and incentives established under Law No. 6 of 2025, with the aim of facilitating their integration into the formal economy.

As part of the commitment to exchanging insights and expertise with fellow African central bank governors and fostering cooperation on issues of mutual interest, Mr. Hassan Abdalla, Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt, participated on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, in a high-level conference titled "AI Applications in Central Banking." The event was organized by the Central Bank of Kenya in Nairobi to mark its 60th anniversary.
Held on the sidelines of the 48th Annual Meetings of the Association of African Central Banks (AACB)—hosted by the Central Bank of Kenya from September 13 to 18, 2026—the conference brought together central bank governors representing over 40 African nations, alongside a distinguished group of experts, specialists, and representatives from regulatory bodies, the financial sector, and international institutions. Participants explored the opportunities AI offers central banks, as well as the associated challenges and risks, and discussed ways to deploy the technology responsibly and securely.
Discussions centered on three key themes: the use of AI in monetary policy and financial stability; the enhancement of banking supervision and financial integrity; and AI governance and associated risk management. The conference discussed the potential of leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze vast and diverse datasets and support economic forecasting. Participants also reviewed AI applications within central banks—such as document analysis, knowledge management, and reporting—highlighting the resulting gains in operational efficiency and improved data utilization.
The conference concluded with a dialogue on national readiness to adopt AI and the importance of regional cooperation. Discussions also addressed future steps to promote the responsible use of these technologies within financial systems and to capitalize on existing cooperation frameworks among African central banks.
The Governor’s participation reflects a commitment to keeping pace with rapid developments in AI and harnessing its applications to enhance central bank operations, thereby supporting policy implementation efficiency and strengthening financial and monetary stability.
The Governor is continuing his participation in the annual meetings of the Association of African Central Banks. Today, Thursday, the Board of Governors' annual symposium is being held under the theme: "Monetary Integration and Financial Sovereignty in Africa: Strategic Insights into Reducing the Continent's Reliance on International Institutions." The symposium features panel discussions on central bank experiences in strengthening monetary policy frameworks to achieve macroeconomic integration, developing local financial markets and alternatives to external financing, and establishing integrated pan-African payment systems to support monetary sovereignty—along with the associated challenges. Member central banks will also share their experiences regarding the symposium's theme. The annual meetings of the Association of African Central Banks will conclude tomorrow, Friday, September 18, 2026, with the annual meeting of the Association’s Board of Governors. During this meeting, the Board will adopt various resolutions regarding the Association’s activities and its associated technical committees, groups, and specialized task forces.

Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly met with Eng. Karim Badawi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, to review several of the Ministry's key work files.
The meeting included a review of current priority issues, foremost among them the operational readiness of the natural gas supply system. This readiness ensured the stability of supplies to various consumption sectors—particularly power plants and industries—and had a tangible impact on meeting demand during the peak summer season.
The Minister also addressed efforts to support oil and natural gas production and boost investment in this vital sector. He emphasized that the settlement of outstanding dues owed to partners in the sector—completed in June 2026—marked a turning point in restoring investor confidence. This move created a favorable climate for new investments in exploration and field development, while supporting intensified exploration and production activities.
In this context, Eng. Karim Badawi highlighted efforts to support and increase domestic natural gas production by developing existing fields, expanding exploration activities, and accelerating the development and integration of new discoveries into the production stream. He noted plans to add approximately 250 million cubic feet of gas per day from the Zohr and West Mena fields in the Mediterranean before the end of the year, alongside an additional 80 million cubic feet per day from the Meleiha fields in the Western Desert before the end of September. Regarding efforts to boost domestic production and maximize the utilization of petroleum fields and assets, Engineer Karim Badawi addressed the development of the petroleum sector's infrastructure—a key pillar for enhancing energy security and supporting the competitiveness of the Egyptian economy. This includes upgrading refineries, improving the efficiency of crude oil and petroleum product transport networks, expanding storage and handling capacities, and maximizing production efficiency. He noted that refinery utilization rates rose from 66% to over 80% due to improved crude availability and unit efficiency; this contributed to increased gasoline and diesel production and a reduced import bill, directly helping to meet domestic market needs and support various productive activities.
The Minister also reviewed key developments in Egypt’s mining sector aimed at creating new opportunities for global investment. He emphasized Egypt's goal of broadening the investor base and attracting international exploration companies to leverage their expertise and modern technologies. Such efforts aim to enhance the sector's ability to transform promising geological potential into productive projects and to accelerate the transition from initial interest in an opportunity to the commencement of actual exploration activities.
Furthermore, the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources highlighted the continued expansion of natural gas connections to households—a priority for reducing the consumption of LPG cylinders and lowering the import bill. Natural gas has been connected to 804,000 housing units, effectively replacing 14 million LPG cylinders.

▪️Study to finance the establishment of new grain silos and tanks to store edible oils and increase the state’s storage capabilities
▪️ Existing cooperation in financing the purchase of basic commodities.. The Ministry aims to expand the partnership to include infrastructure projects for food security
Dr. Sherif Farouk, Minister of Supply and Internal Trade, held a meeting with a delegation from the Islamic Development Bank and the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation, to discuss ways to expand in areas of joint cooperation, and to review a number of proposed projects aimed at supporting the food security system and increasing storage capabilities for strategic goods.
The meeting discussed the possibility of providing the necessary funding to establish a number of new grain storage silos, which would contribute to increasing storage capacities and raising the efficiency of the storage and handling system, in addition to discussing financing the construction of new tanks to store edible oils, which would enhance the state’s storage capabilities and support efficient inventory management.
Dr. Sherif Farouk stressed that the expansion of establishing and developing the infrastructure of the storage system represents one of the main axes in the strategy of the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, because of its direct importance in enhancing food security, raising the state’s ability to secure citizens’ needs for strategic goods, and improving the efficiency of strategic stock management.
The Minister of Supply indicated that the Ministry is working to strengthen its partnerships with international institutions and financing institutions, and to benefit from the expertise and financing mechanisms available to support strategic projects related to food security, stressing that the next stage aims to expand the scope of international cooperation to include, in addition to financing the purchase and provision of basic commodities, financing infrastructure projects that enhance the state’s ability to store, manage, and secure these commodities in the long term.
The Minister explained that there is actual cooperation existing between the Ministry, the General Authority for Supply Commodities and the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation in the field of financing the purchase of a number of basic and strategic commodities, which represents an important base on which to build to expand into new areas of cooperation, pointing out that the discussion of financing the construction of silos and oil storage tanks comes within an integrated vision aimed at increasing storage capacities and raising the efficiency of the supply system, in a way that enhances the state’s ability to deal with changes in global markets and secure the needs of the local market.
He stressed that the importance of increasing storage capacities is not limited to adding new capacities only, but rather represents a direct investment in the food security system, by improving the efficiency of commodity circulation, reducing waste, and enhancing the state’s ability to manage strategic stocks, in a way that supports market stability and sustainability of supplies.
For their part, members of the delegation of the Islamic Development Bank and the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation affirmed their keenness to continue and enhance cooperation with the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, noting that the existing cooperation in the field of financing the purchase of basic commodities represents an important model of partnership between the two sides, and that the projects that were presented during the meeting, most notably grain silos and edible oil storage tanks, open new areas of cooperation in financing infrastructure related to food security.

Concluding the series of meetings, the Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority met with representatives of the European Commission. The two sides reviewed ongoing cooperation and emphasized the importance of continuing support for joint programs and projects. Such efforts contribute to strengthening the Authority’s regulatory and technical capabilities, leveraging European expertise, and supporting national priorities regarding nuclear oversight and safety—particularly as the Egyptian nuclear program advances. Dr. Hany Khader expressed his appreciation for the ongoing cooperation between the Authority and the European Union, noting that recent achievements—realized within a short timeframe—reflect the importance of the strategic partnership between Egypt and the EU.

Minister of Housing: Establishing a dedicated electronic wallet for each company is a significant step in improving corporate interaction mechanisms and enhancing the efficiency of the foreign investment system.
Deputy Minister of Housing: Funds are deposited into the wallet by transferring the SWIFT amount to the company's specific electronic wallet code, rather than to land plot reservation codes.
The Ministry of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities has announced the activation of an electronic wallet system for companies registered on the Foreign Investment Portal of the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA), effective today, Thursday, September 17, 2026. This move follows the Authority’s Board of Directors Resolution No. 217 of 2026.
Eng. Randa El-Menshawy, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, emphasized that creating a dedicated electronic wallet for each company registered on the Foreign Investment Portal marks a crucial step in refining corporate interaction mechanisms and streamlining the procedures for transferring and approving company funds, thereby boosting the efficiency of the Authority's foreign investment system.
The Minister explained that the new system assigns a unique electronic wallet code to each company, which will be used to receive all SWIFT bank transfers related to that company.
Eng. Randa El-Menshawy added that the activation of this system aims to regulate the handling of corporate financial transfers and ensure that funds are directed to their designated channels, thereby minimizing the likelihood of delays or issues during the fund approval process. For his part, Dr. Walid Abbas, Deputy Minister of Housing for Urban Communities, explained that each company registered on the foreign investment portal will be assigned an electronic wallet with a unique, independent code. He emphasized that funds must be deposited into the wallet by transferring the SWIFT amount to the company's specific electronic wallet code, rather than to the codes used for reserving land plots.
The Deputy Minister noted that the Authority will begin accepting transfers to these electronic wallets on September 17, 2026. He further stated that October 31, 2026, is the deadline for funding the wallets and validating the associated SWIFT transfers for use in the upcoming initial offering; SWIFT transfers made after this date may be used in subsequent offerings.
In the same context, Dr. Ahmed Amara, Supervisor of the Real Estate and Commercial Affairs Sector at the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA), explained that the electronic wallet balance will be available for use in offerings starting in November 2026, in accordance with the new mechanism approved by the Authority. Dr. Amara emphasized the importance of all companies registered on the foreign investment portal adhering to the requirement of directing SWIFT transfers to their specific electronic wallet codes—rather than to land plot reservation codes—to avoid any delays or issues regarding the validation of transferred funds. The New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) calls upon all companies registered on the foreign investment portal to review their electronic wallet codes and adhere to the new mechanism, as well as the specified timelines for funding and transfer approval. This ensures that wallet balances are ready for use in offerings starting with the November 2026 round.
Key dates for system activation:
- September 17, 2026: Commencement of accepting transfers to electronic wallets.
- October 31, 2026: Deadline for funding wallets and approving SWIFT transfers for use in the upcoming initial offering.
- November 2026 Offering: Electronic wallet balances become available for use in offerings.

Singapore’s Ambassador to Cairo: Singaporean companies aspire to deepen trade cooperation and inject additional investments into Egypt across various sectors.
Dr. Mohamed Farid, Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade, met with representatives of Singaporean companies operating in Egypt—in the presence of Dominic Goh, Singapore’s Ambassador to Cairo—to discuss expansion plans and increased investment, as well as to address obstacles and challenges facing them in the Egyptian market. The Minister emphasized the Ministry's commitment to maintaining direct communication with the local and international business communities and to coordinating swiftly with government entities to resolve challenges and improve the business environment.
The participating companies represented a diverse range of sectors, including food industries, logistics and shipping, fertilizers, retail, technology, and the manufacturing and assembly of gas station units.
The Singaporean Ambassador noted that existing Singaporean investments in Egypt total approximately $500 million, with several companies planning expansion and growth that could potentially double these investments across various productive sectors.
The meeting also addressed expansion opportunities in several sectors—most notably advanced technology—alongside plans by logistics companies to establish new warehouses. Indorama presented its fertilizer production project in Ain Sokhna, involving investments of approximately $525 million. The meeting also included discussions on opportunities for the local manufacturing of global brands, noting that one of the participating companies represents over 80 such brands.
Dr. Mohamed Farid outlined the Ministry’s efforts to accelerate digitalization and increase reliance on technology to enhance service efficiency and competitiveness. These measures aim to facilitate processes for investors by reducing procedural complexity and duration, thereby boosting investment levels and improving Egypt's foreign trade performance. Key initiatives include digitizing capital increase processes, investment licensing, and export rebate procedures, alongside re-engineering workflows prior to digitalization and updating corporate legislation.
The meeting also addressed the Ministry’s plans to launch the "TradeTech Sandbox"—the first regulatory sandbox for foreign trade. This initiative aims to identify and support innovative solutions and ideas, transforming them into projects that strengthen Egypt's foreign trade infrastructure and enhance the value-added of Egyptian exports.
The Minister affirmed the Ministry’s commitment to addressing the challenges raised by the participating companies and coordinating with relevant authorities to resolve them. These efforts aim to bolster Singaporean investor confidence in Egypt’s business and investment climate, ultimately encouraging further investment in the near future.

The annual headline urban inflation rate slowed in August 2026, recording 14.5% compared to 14.9% in July 2026. This was primarily driven by a decline in the annual food inflation rate to 6.3% in August 2026, down from 8% in July 2026; meanwhile, the annual non-food inflation rate recorded 19.5% in August 2026, compared to 19.1% in July 2026.
In its monthly inflation analysis, the Central Bank revealed that the monthly headline urban inflation rate reached 0.1% in August 2026, compared to 0.4% in August 2025, as the drop in food prices partially offset the trend in non-food prices. The monthly food inflation rate recorded -1.1%, with inflation rates for fresh vegetables and fruits as well as basic food items continuing to decline for the third consecutive month. Conversely, the monthly non-food inflation rate rose to 0.7%.
The annual core inflation rate recorded 14.9% in August 2026, compared to 14.7% in July 2026, reflecting a slight increase in the prices of both food and non-food items. The annual core inflation rate also rose, reaching 0.3% in August 2026, compared to 0.1% in August 2025. The increase in the monthly core inflation rate is primarily attributed to a slight rise in non-food inflation, offset by a limited decline in basic food inflation.
The annual headline inflation rate in rural areas declined to 10.9% in August 2026, down from 11.2% in July 2021. Similarly, the annual headline inflation rate for the country as a whole—representing the combined average of urban and rural inflation—fell to 12.7% in August 2026, compared to 13% in July 2026.
The monthly food inflation rate dropped for the third consecutive month, recording -1.1% and contributing approximately -0.38 percentage points to the monthly headline inflation rate.
Prices for the fresh vegetables and fruits group recorded -5.5%, contributing approximately -0.35 percentage points to the monthly headline inflation rate; this primarily reflects an 8.2% decline in fresh vegetable prices and a 1.3% drop in fresh fruit prices, contrary to their usual seasonal patterns. Prices of basic food items fell by 0.1%, contributing approximately -0.03 percentage points to the monthly headline inflation rate. This decline—contrary to the usual seasonal pattern—was driven by a 3.2% drop in poultry prices and a 0.9% decrease in fish and seafood prices, while table egg prices rose by 4.1%.
Non-food inflation recorded a monthly rate of 0.7% in August 2026, contributing approximately 0.46 percentage points to the monthly headline inflation rate.
Inflation for the group of administered-price goods and services stood at 1%, contributing 0.22 percentage points to the monthly headline inflation rate; this was largely due to a 9.2% adjustment in electricity prices, which alone contributed 0.19 percentage points to the monthly headline inflation rate.
Inflation in the services group rose by 0.5%, contributing 0.16 percentage points to the monthly headline inflation rate, primarily reflecting increased rents and higher spending at restaurants and cafes.
Inflation for the consumer goods group rose slightly by 0.6%, contributing 0.08 percentage points to the monthly headline inflation rate; this increase was driven mainly by rising prices for household cleaning products and personal care items. Inflation for the fresh fruit and vegetables group slowed to 18.6% in August 2026, down from 31.5% in July 2026, contributing approximately 1.09 percentage points to the annual headline inflation rate.
Inflation for the basic food commodities group rose to 4.4% in August 2026, up from 4.2% in July 2026, contributing approximately 1.30 percentage points to the annual headline inflation rate; this increase is attributed to an 8.7% year-on-year rise in red meat prices and a 6.5% rise in the prices of oils and fats.
Inflation for the services group rose to 27.8% in August 2026, compared to 27.3% in July 2026, contributing 12.15 percentage points to the annual headline inflation rate.
Inflation for the group of administratively priced goods and services rose to 12.3% in August 2026, up from 11.4% in July 2026, contributing 2.72 percentage points to the annual headline inflation rate; this rise reflects an increase in electricity prices for residential use.
Inflation for the consumer goods group fell to 12.1% in August 2026, down from 12.4% in July 2026, contributing 1.8 percentage points to the annual headline inflation rate.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ahmed Rostom, Minister of Planning and Economic Development, emphasized that the program and performance-based budget is a key tool for advancing the planning and public finance management system.
