Population
Statbel publishes today the provisional monthly results of the statistics on births.
The first provisional figures show that in December 2024, 8,657 babies were born in Belgium: 4,779 in Flanders, 2,721 in Wallonia and 1,157 in the Brussels-Capital Region.
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.
For that, we will have to wait for the final publication of population figures on 2025 mid-2025.
