Egypt

Updated: February 2025

Key Insights
  • Egypt’s GDP data are rated a low D, which equates to unusable for serious decision making.
  • The Egypt Governance Index is also E rated, meaning the Government is untrustworthy, and may have interfered in the production of Government economic and demographic data.
  • Hence GDP size and growth data and all demographic data are suspect and unreliable, as is all data (such as GDP per capita, Debt per capita, etc ) based on economic data produced by the Government.
  • More specifically, IMF data suggesting that Egypt has been a fast-growing country over the past decade is unlikely to be a reliable reflection of reality.

POPULATION DATA QUALITY

The Population Data Quality Rating is derived from three factors: a country's latest Census Year; its Capacity for producing statistical data; and its Registration of Births data. Read more...

The three components are weighted to form the Population Data Quality Index.
