Egypt Expands Criteria for Removing Citizens from Subsidy Cards

The Ministry of Supply has begun applying a new criterion to exclude high-income earners from the food subsidy system.

• The Ministry of Supply said it will remove citizens with monthly incomes reaching 24,000 Egyptian pounds from the subsidy cards.
• The ministry had previously removed over 850,000 citizens, including residents of compounds, families with children in international schools, and owners of modern vehicles.
• The ministry opened an appeal process on June 14, allowing removed citizens to submit applications through the "Egypt Digital" platform and their local supply office.
