Cyprus Death Rate
Crude death rate per 1,000 people SP.DYN.CDRT.IN
Cyprus's death rate was 7.8 in 2025, ranked 92nd globally. This represents a 10.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Cyprus's death rate stood at 7.8 in 2025, a rise of +0.8 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.8 by 2025. Cyprus ranked 92nd globally.
Cyprus’ death rate has fallen markedly since the all‑time peak of 17.41 in 1974, declining to a trough of 5.84 in 2012 before rising modestly to 7.83 in 2025, placing the island nation 92nd in the world. Over the 65‑year series, the downward trajectory reflects improvements in health care, nutrition and disease prevention, while the slight post‑trough increase may be linked to demographic ageing and the lingering effects of the 2013 financial crisis on public health spending. The 2025 figure is closely aligned with Malta’s 7.74 and slightly below Brazil’s 7.90, underscoring Cyprus’ position among mid‑range mortality economies. Continued reductions in the death rate will likely depend on sustaining health‑system reforms, addressing chronic disease burdens and mitigating population ageing, which together could drive the indicator back toward the low levels recorded in the early 2010s.
