DUBAI: Egypt’s presidential plan to provide consumers with goods at lower costs will start on Sunday, local daily Egypt Today reported.

The initiative aims to offer up to 20 percent discount on items in order to help support Egyptian consumers.

The plan comes as part of the country’s efforts to contribute to improving the economic situation in Egypt for the benefit of the manufacturers, traders and consumers, Minister of Justice Mohamed Maait said.

The initiative also aims to encourage factories to operate at their full production capacities, stimulate the local goods, improve the internal trade movement, meet citizens’ wants at reasonable prices, and raise the economic growth rate, he added.

Maait also said the presidential plan includes home appliances, electronic devices, clothes, leather products and furniture which are available on the initiative’s website:
