Ahmed Kamal, Assistant Minister of Supply and Internal Trade for Projects and Media Affairs and Official Spokesperson, said that the price has been fixed by a decision of the Prime Minister since 2020, and its cost is fully borne by the General Authority for Supply Commodities, and bakery owners have nothing to do with it, so that the price of the subsidized loaf remains fixed for citizens at 20 piasters per loaf.
Ahmed Kamal explained that Prime Ministerial Decision No. 3001 of 2024, which will be effective starting from 09/18/2024, includes 12,000 pounds per ton of bulk gas, excluding transportation freight. This price is specific to the increase in the prices of bulk gas used in filling butane cylinders in cylinder filling factories and has nothing to do with the prices of natural gas used by some tourist bakeries, which were not included in the decision issued with any increase, according to the official Middle East News Agency.
He added that the price of a 12.5 kg domestic gas cylinder increased from 100 to 150 pounds, and the 25 kg commercial gas cylinder increased from 200 to 300 pounds.
