Why does the Egyptian commodity scholarship enter the new year by trading an orphan product?
At the beginning of the year 2024, it seemed as if the Egyptian commodity stockings were on the threshold of a qualitative shift as it announced major ambitions to expand the scope of trade to include 13 basic commodities, but it ended the year on disappointing hope, as the platform is not a trade at this time. The work of the Commodity Exchange was launched in November 2022, and the total of its goods from the first session to the beginning of the year reached 9 different goods, while only one commodity is now distributed. The commodity exchange in Egypt has suspended between great hope and a frustrating reality, after a sudden stop of wheat, sugar and wheat, one of the most important targeted merchandise, to clash with its broad hope with another reality. Former Egyptian Supply Minister Ali Al -Muselhi attributed to Al -Sharq last February to the interruption of the distribution of most commodities on the commodity stock exchange to “the speculation and expensive prices in it.” The platform, which was met with great optimism, was aimed at creating an organized market for trading goods through the powers of supply and demand, to be one of the instruments used to control prices, as well as to lure dollar returns by attracting foreign buyers who trade Egyptian goods with the aim of executing them. The Egyptian Stock Exchange stopped and stopped the 3 prominent strategic goods to provide strategic trading, namely wheat, wheat and sugar, amid randomly the Egyptian market until the first quarter of 2024, where the last trade in the Sugar Commodity was in December last year, and the atom was in the last year in December, atom in the last year and the atom was the atom in the last year and the atom was the atom in the last year and the atom was the atom in the last year and the atom was the atom in the last year and the atom was the atom in the last year and the atom was the atom in the last year and the atom was in the last year and the atom was the atom in the last year Was the atom in the last year and the atom was the atom in the last year and the atom was the atom in the last year and the atom was on the previous year and the atom was the atom in the last year. Month, although no new session of the wheat commodity has been held since January 21. In an effort by the government to stimulate the commodity exchange, Al -Moselhi told Al -Sharq in the middle of this year that the platform will offer their goods on the Commodity Stock Exchange during the second half of this year. The circulation of strategic goods and the statements of Al -Muselhi has stopped in accordance with what Zakaria Hamza, CEO and managing member of the Commodity Stock Exchange, told Al -Sharq, which is currently being done to activate the role of the commodity stock by encouraging private sector. Ministrations offer on the presentation of surpluses, and foresee that they are not provided strategic goods. The reason for the stop of wheat circulation is an official of the government who is assured to Al -Sharq that the Supply Commodities Authority is the owner of the desire to stop offering strategic goods on the stock exchange platform, especially wheat, and that in the future there will be no introduction to the stopping of January. Explained by an official with the Ministry of Provision to Al -Sharq that the Ministry of wheat imports to the extent that is sufficient for the ration, thus if offered to the private sector that imports wheat like it. The government official also asked: “Why did he enter wheat in the hard currency to sell it on the stock exchange platform in the local currency of private sector traders, while the country does not suffer from a crisis in flour or wheat?” He added that the case is similar to the ‘wheat’ commodity, as there are no crises in the feed until the government interferes with wheat imports and places on the stock exchange. The stock exchange platform could not reach its ambitions by trading different commodities, and was only limited to the bran, despite the planning to expand the extent of trade to include a wide variety of agricultural, food and petroleum products, such as cotton, rice and beans, sesame, glucose, oil plants, meat, poultry, moles, moles and some walls.
