Egypt’s Population Hits 107 Million as Growth Rate Slows

Egypt’s population has reached 107 million people, according to a new report from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS).

The increase of one million residents since February 2024 comes after a steady decline in birth rates, showing the impact of ongoing national initiatives to manage population growth. Egypt’s average daily births have decreased from 5,683 since the previous million-milestone to 5,385 now.

However, with annual births still exceeding two million, population growth continues to strain the country’s resources, creating social, economic, and environmental pressures.
