Dr. Ali Gamal Abdel Jawad, economic expert and financial markets analyst, stated that the recent decline in Egypt’s inflation rate confirms a clear downward trajectory, strengthening the case for the Central Bank to reduce interest rates by the end of this month. This move would be supported by noticeable improvements in the global economic landscape. n nHe explained that the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points—for the third time in a row since September—acts as a strong catalyst for emerging markets, particularly Egypt, after a prolonged period of pressure caused by previous monetary tightening in the United States. n nAbdel Jawad noted that inflation in Egypt has dropped to levels below 4%, coinciding with exchange rate stability, which has directly boosted performance on the Egyptian stock exchange. Key market indices have shown strong buying momentum in both the short and medium term, driven by improved investor confidence and renewed liquidity inflows. n nHe added that lowering interest rates encourages individuals and institutions to seek investment alternatives offering higher returns than fixed-income instruments. This shift benefits Egypt’s capital market, which is now more appealing given current inflation levels and presents promising investment opportunities in the coming phase. n
