Egyptian Minister of Supply, Sharif Farouk: No matter how much the dollar rises against the pound in the short term, the prices of basic goods will remain stable in 284 government branches, and this is a promise of the Egyptian government. We ask citizens to rationalize consumption, if possible, except for necessities, and not to get more than our needs. Any confinement of any goods in Egypt is considered a punishable crime. The minister's words came in an interview with a local TV channel.
