The IMF projects Egypt's average annual inflation will rise to 14.8% in 2027 after easing to 13.3% in 2026, while upgrading its 2026 growth forecast to 5.1%. The forecast implies persistent price pressures despite recent stabilization efforts, and the growth upgrade suggests improving economic momentum, though inflation remains elevated.
