How it works
Official quarterly figures · projection labelled · sources linkedThe live number = latest official total + (the official change per second over the past 12 months × seconds since that total). Egypt publishes its debt once a quarter, not daily, so this is a projection between quarterly figures, not an official figure.
projected = 17,850,712,000,000 + 100,344.0512 × (seconds since Mar 31, 2026 11:59:59 PM CT)
The rate is the official change from Mar 31, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026: E£17,850,712,000,000 − E£14,686,262,000,000 = E£3,164,450,000,000 over 365 days = E£100,344.05 per second. We use the change over the latest twelve months rather than the last quarter because quarterly changes swing with the exchange rate and with issuance. The actual path is lumpy (bonds are sold in batches and repaid on schedules), so the projection will drift; when new quarterly figures come out, the clock re-bases to the new official figures.
How often it's published. Quarterly. The Ministry of Finance publishes a bulletin for each quarter-end with a lag of several months. The Ministry of Finance publishes a Budget Sector Statistical Debt Bulletin each quarter, with a lag of several months; this page re-bases to it automatically on the next daily build after it appears.
Per person divides by CAPMAS's estimate of 109,600,000 people on Oct 1, 2026. It is not projected forward, so the live per-person figure rises only with the debt.
Note. Why the Ministry's bulletin: it is the Ministry of Finance's own quarterly statement of the budget sector's debt. The fetcher reads the latest bulletin and the one about a year earlier and checks that domestic plus external equals the total.
Note. Budget sector, not general government: the measure is narrower than the IMF's general-government figure, which includes more entities, and not like-for-like with other countries' pages.
Note. Lag: the newest bulletin is several months behind the date.
Note. Currency: Egyptian pounds. The World Debt Clock converts them to US dollars at the US Treasury's Reporting Rates of Exchange (a quarterly official rate as of 30 September 2026; the page for the World Debt Clock shows the rate and its date).
Note. Figures from source tables may not add exactly because of rounding in the source.
