The Problem of Inflation and Its Solution in Egypt during the Bahri Mamluks Period

During the domination of the Bahri Mamluks, The Egyptians have experienced inflation and high prices for a long period. This situation was caused by natural and human factors. In this paper, we study the economic policies of the Bahri Mamluks and evaluate the efficiency of them. A survey of historical evidence shows that these policies were not organized, stable and provident. Hence, these policies, mostly temporary solutions, were often a matter of abuse and misapplication by the profiteering people or groups attached to the government. As a result of the lack of strategy and long-term vision, the domination of Bahri Mamluks collapsed and the power transferred to the Burji Mamluks.
