(MENAFN) Egypt’s Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics said in its latest report that the country’s urban inflation rate, the main indicator monitored by the central bank, rose to an annual 11 percent from 10.9 percent in August, Reuters reported.
The central bank, which will meet to review its monetary policy, kept the overnight deposit rate at 8.25 percent in September, saying uncertainty over global economic growth may weigh on domestic investment.
