CAIRO - 20 August 2017: The results of Egypt's 2017 population census are to be announced at a grand ceremony in September, said an official source at the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) on Sunday.

The source added in a statement to Egypt Today, that the presidential institution confirmed that President Abdelfatah al-Sisi will be attending, pointing out that the date of the ceremony has not yet been determined, but is likely to take place during the last week of September.

Last July, CAPMAS announced that the population of Egypt has reached 93.332 million, indicating an increase in the population from 72.8 million in 2006 to 92.1 million at the beginning of 2017.
