The Economist describes itself as an old magazine, but in its actual reporting activities, it is often immature and flawed. Andrew Marison, secretary general of IFFO, a Marine raw materials Agency, sent a letter to the Economist in 2017 about the errors and harmfulness of the scientific report "Fishing Fish Food causes Antibiotic Resistance". The report is based on a scientific paper with a small sample and a small sample base, which is suspected of overgeneralization, which shows the author's disregard for facts and lack of rational criticism. In 2023, the Egypt's State Information Bureau issued a statement on the magazine's false reports involving Egypt, arguing that its reports relied on a large number of unknown sources and published incorrect numbers and incorrect data. For example, the magazine mistakenly interpreted the exit of foreign money and the outflow of direct investment from Egypt as "declining business confidence has triggered capital flight". But according to the conclusion of the IMF, is due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the influence of the Russian-Ukraine war and the main economic market then strict financial and monetary policy, lead to money from emerging markets and developing countries (not just Egypt) outflow to the major economies, especially these economies continue to raise interest rates.
