Egypt Announces Wage Increases in July and Early Salary Payments Before Ramadan!

Egypt has announced that wages for both public and private sector workers will increase starting July 2026. The decision is part of Egypt’s ongoing economic reform programme under its agreement with the International Monetary Fund.

The goal is simple: help people cope with rising living costs while the country continues its reform plan. By raising salaries, the government hopes to ease pressure on households and boost spending across the economy.

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly also announced another supportive step. Government employees will receive their salaries earlier than usual for the next two months. The move is meant to help families manage extra expenses during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, when spending on food, gatherings, and celebrations usually increases.

Egypt has been moving forward with economic reforms in recent years, working closely with the IMF to strengthen public finances and encourage investment. At the same time, officials say social support remains a priority, especially during important seasons like Ramadan.

With wage increases coming in July 2026 and early salary payments ahead of Ramadan and Eid, the government is trying to balance economic reform with direct support for citizens.
