About this indicator
A positive value means more people moved into the country than left it. The figure includes statistical adjustments, so some years (e.g. after censuses) show outliers.
The latest figure (2025) is 493, under the Orbán Viktor government. The series goes back to 1960; the highest value was 115,222 (2022) and the lowest −192,400 (1989).
