In Egypt’s current context of wide-ranging economic reforms, there is growing momentum to improve the longstanding Tamween food subsidy system. Tamween’s ration cards benefit around 70 million people, while the bread subsidy benefits around 83 million people, and together they make up about 6% of the government’s budget.
