Lithuania’s resident population at 2.86mn

The State Data Agency (Statistics Lithuania) reports that based on provisional data, as of 1 January 2023, the resident population of Lithuania totalled 2 million 860 thousand, which is by 54 thousand more than a year ago.

The change in the resident population in 2022 was influenced by a significant increase in positive net international migration due to the large number of war refugees from Ukraine – the number of immigrants exceeded that of emigrants by 72.4 thousand, and negative natural population change – the number of deaths exceeded that of live births by 18.4 thousand.
