A typical post picks up 20 interactions against 4.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 54 original posts, its engagement rate beats 13% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 32K times each, and 0.063% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.736% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 54 posts sampled, 9% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 53 interactions, about 2.6x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ai, #climate, #internationalyouthday.

Compared with accounts its own size

World Economic Forum's engagement rate beats 13% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 5% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.001%, World Economic Forum sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,960 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,518 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

    Switzerland has long created the conditions for dialogue across divides, and that has shaped the World Economic Forum since its founding more than 55 years ago. The Forum draws on the country’s tradition of trust and long-term cooperation to bring together leaders across sectors, regions and viewpoints. And as global fractures deepen, that role matters more than ever. Read more about the Forum’s Swiss roots and how they continue to shape its work. https://t.co/pRhIaIS8SA

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

Recurring topics

#ai#climate#internationalyouthday#youthday#cyber

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 20 interactions against 4.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 54 original posts, its engagement rate beats 13% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size.

What is World Economic Forum's engagement rate on X?
World Economic Forum (@wef) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 54 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,328,110 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.001%, World Economic Forum sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @wef have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 13% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @wef post?
Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.8 posts per day across the measured window.
