Cigarette Price Thresholds to Rise 12% Annually Through 2028
New VAT amendments will raise cigarette price thresholds by 12% annually until 2028 and introduce fixed-rate taxation on alcohol, aligning levies with alcohol content. Jun 30, 2025 Minimum and maximum retail price thresholds for cigarettes are set to rise by 12% annually over the next three years, beginning November 5th, 2025. The adjustments were introduced as part of efforts to enhance tax equity and increase public revenues, under newly approved amendments to the Value Added Tax Law (Law No. 67 of 2016). The annual rate may be revised downward in response to fluctuations in production costs. Cigarettes currently priced below EGP 38.88 will fall under a new maximum retail threshold of EGP 48. Those priced between EGP 38.88 and EGP 56.44 will be reclassified within a bracket capped at EGP 69. Imported brands previously subject to a cap of EGP 56.44 will also be included under the EGP 69 ceiling. These thresholds will continue to rise at a rate of 12% per year through 2028. Taxation on alcoholic beverages has also been restructured under the amendment, with a shift from percentage-based levies to fixed rates determined by alcohol content. These levies will increase annually by 15% over a three-year period.

Egypt to launch new dialysis filter factory in July, covering 65% of domestic demand
A new dialysis filter factory in Egypt is set to begin operations this July, marking a significant step toward self-sufficiency in medical supplies. The plant, built at a cost of EGP 160m, is expected to cover 65% of the country's local demand and generate annual savings of up to EGP 3bn (approximately $50m) by cutting import costs. Amr Abdel Razek, Chairperson of Wadi El Nile Stio and SLS Egypt, announced at a recent press conference that the factory meets the latest international standards and has received ISO certification. He described the project as a strategic initiative aligned with the state's efforts to strengthen domestic healthcare manufacturing capabilities. Currently, the company imports raw materials from Germany, but Abdel Razek revealed plans to fully localize production within a year. This shift is intended to reduce Egypt's dependence on foreign suppliers and reinforce the national healthcare system. Before this development, Egypt imported about 90% of its dialysis filters. The new facility is expected to reverse that trend significantly. In addition to dialysis filters, Wadi El Nile Stio and SLS Egypt are expanding into the production of critical pharmaceutical products, particularly medications used in intensive care, anesthesia, respiration, and cardiology. Abdel Razek noted that 40% of these drugs are already produced locally in compliance with World Health Organization (WHO) standards, with plans to begin exports to neighboring countries to boost foreign currency inflows. To support this industrial expansion, the companies have partnered with German experts to deliver specialized training programs aimed at transferring technology and upskilling local technical teams. Abdel Razek also announced a plan to launch 22 new pharmaceutical products, priced up to 60% lower than imported equivalents. This aligns with government directives to improve access to affordable, high-quality medication. In collaboration with El Nasr Pharmaceutical Chemicals Company, the firms are rehabilitating production lines for anesthetic drugs and plan to develop additional factories to modernize Egypt's pharmaceutical infrastructure. The new dialysis filters and anesthetic products will be supplied to the Egyptian Unified Procurement Authority. Furthermore, the companies aim to establish maintenance centers for dialysis filters across various governorates and launch a dedicated department to service dialysis machines. This factory is the result of agreements signed in June 2023 between El Nasr Pharmaceutical Chemicals Company and Wadi El Nile Stio Life Science for Pharmaceutical Industries to rehabilitate and operate a previously idle facility.

Elon Musk Slams Trump-Backed Tax Bill as 'Insane' and 'Job-Destroying'
Taarek Refaat Tech billionaire Elon Musk launched a scathing attack Saturday on the latest version of President Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill, warning that it would destroy American jobs and plunge the nation deeper into unsustainable debt. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Tesla and SpaceX CEO described the legislation—currently under debate in the U.S. Senate—as 'insane and utterly destructive,' just weeks after appearing to reconcile with Trump over earlier disagreements. > 'The latest version of the bill being discussed in the Senate will destroy millions of American jobs and cause massive strategic harm to our country!' Musk wrote. Musk sharply criticized the bill for favoring what he called "obsolete industries" at the expense of future-focused innovation sectors, and accused lawmakers of setting the U.S. on a path toward a "debt slavery" crisis. 'It raises the debt ceiling by \$5 trillion—the largest increase in U.S. history—putting America on a fast track to debt bondage,' Musk warned. Senate Republicans unveiled their version of Trump's flagship tax and spending legislation late Friday—a 940-page proposal aimed at extending the 2017 tax cuts that defined Trump's first term. The bill includes provisions for further tax reductions and a significant increase in defense and border security spending. The Senate is expected to hold a preliminary vote on the bill this weekend, followed by a full session that could lead to its passage by Congress next week. Despite fierce opposition from some business leaders and economists, the bill passed the House of Representatives last month by a razor-thin margin of **215 to 214**, with one lawmaker abstaining. Although Musk once served as head of the Government Efficiency Department under Trump's current administration, their relationship has become increasingly strained over policy disagreements. Earlier this month, Musk wrote on X: 'I'm sorry, but I can't take it anymore,' referring to what he called a 'massive, disgusting, flattery-filled spending bill.' He went further in follow-up posts, accusing Congress of reckless financial behavior: 'Shame on those who voted for it. You know you're wrong. You know it.' Musk also claimed the bill would balloon the federal budget deficit to **\$2.5 trillion**, placing an unbearable financial burden on American taxpayers. Broader Implications If passed, the legislation would represent a major political win for Trump ahead of the 2026 midterms—but at the cost of deepening economic polarization in the U.S. Critics, like Musk, argue it prioritizes short-term political gain over long-term national stability. With the Senate vote imminent, the debate over the bill is likely to intensify—both in Congress and across America's boardrooms. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
