PM discusses Ramadan supplies, interest rates with CBE

Moustafa Madbouly met this evening at the government headquarters in the New Administrative Capital with Hassan Abdullah, Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), to discuss coordination efforts between the government and the CBE on a number of key files, foremost among them ensuring the availability of various goods for citizens.

Mohamed El-Homsani, the official Cabinet spokesperson, said the meeting addressed several important issues related to price stability and the availability of different products in the market, particularly with the approach of the holy month of Ramadan.

He explained that the meeting reviewed the impact of the CBE’s recent decision, issued last Thursday, to cut interest rates by 100 basis points.

El-Homsani added that the talks also discussed the effect of the rate cut on encouraging further investment across various sectors, in light of the successive reductions in deposit returns.
