The population of Spain increased by 590 thousand people in one year and for the first time exceeded the milestone of 48 million people.
Spain’s population will exceed 48 million in the first quarter of 2023, an all-time high. This was announced by the National Institute of Statistics of the Kingdom on Tuesday, May 23.
The annual population growth of more than 590,000, the highest since 2008, is due to the influx of foreign nationals into the country.
In the first quarter of this year, Colombians (more than 44,000), Moroccans (more than 23,000), Venezuelans (more than 21,000) and Peruvians (more than 18,000) are the most frequent immigrants to Spain.
Most immigrants are registered in the autonomous region of Madrid (0.60%), in Valencia (0.54%) and Catalonia (0.46%).
The last high was recorded on January 1, 2021, when the population of Spain was more than 47 million.
It will be remembered that on November 15, 2022, the population of the Earth will reach eight billion people.
Canada recorded its highest population growth in 65 years.
