Publication of the first Egyptian mortality tables

The Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) has completed the development and publication of the first Egyptian mortality tables on 16 October 2023. These will enable insurance companies to set the right rates for life products.

After using British mortality tables for many years, this initiative makes Egypt the first Arab country to have this working tool.

Life insurers are required to submit a statistical mortality statement to the FRA at the end of each year. This data will be used to regularly update the new mortality tables.
