These results were calculated based on Demobel, Statbel’s demographic database (source: National Register). As these figures are provisional, it is not yet possible to draw any clear conclusions, either on a monthly or on an annual basis. This will have to wait until the final publication of the population figures on 1 January 2022 mid-2022.
