2024
Egypt scores better than the average score of countries in its region and income group, but below the global average and top performing countries. This suggests significant room for improvement in the cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2024
Egypt scores mid-range in tax share and poorly in price, affordability change, and tax structure. Egypt would greatly benefit from increasing cigarette prices, reducing cigarette affordability, and improving tax structure.
Scores Over Time
Egypt's overall score decreased from 2018 to 2024. The decrease was the result of a reduction in the cigarette price, affordability change, and tax share of price scores. The country has not been able to reduce the cigarette affordability since 2020.
