Egypt's population to reach 91m people on Sunday

The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) said Egypt's population will reach on Sunday evening 91 million people.

In a press release on Saturday, the CAPMAS underlined that population growth rate should be decreased.

It pointed out that Egypt's population rose the last one million within six months only.

The population growth rate hit 2.4 percent in Egypt in 2015 which is five times the rate in developed countries, the agency further said.

Egypt's population is concentrated in three governorates in which it reached in Cairo, Giza and Sharqiya about 9.51, 7.84 and 6.7 million respectively.
