CAIRO, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Egypt's headline inflation is forecast to climb yet further in July after having hit a record high in June, a Reuters poll showed on Tuesday, as food prices continue to soar.
Capital Economics, which predicted prices would increase by an annual 36.7%, said non-food inflation likely rose as a result of falls in the Egyptian pound.
