Egypt’s electricity prices for commercial activities have increased by 20% effective today, according to reports. The announcement, framed by the phrase “We don’t want burdens,” suggests an unwillingness to implement further strain on businesses. This price hike is the latest in a series of economic adjustments undertaken by the Egyptian government. The move is anticipated to impact operating costs for businesses across various sectors. While the government’s motivation isn't explicitly stated, it likely aims to address budgetary pressures and reduce subsidies. Details regarding the specific impact on different commercial categories remain to be released. The news was first reported by Mada Masr.
