Czechia’s population growth has accelerated sharply in recent years, reaching 1.59 % in 2025, which places the country 75th in the world according to the World Bank. This figure follows an all‑time peak of 1.78 % recorded in 2023, after the nation rebounded from a historic trough of –1.81 % in 2021, the lowest annual change in the 65‑year series that begins in 1961. The rapid turnaround mirrors the performance of peers such as Portugal (1.60 %) and the United Kingdom (1.59 %) in the same period, suggesting that Central European demographic dynamics are converging with those of Western Europe. The post‑2021 surge reflects a combination of increased net migration and a modest rise in fertility, counterbalancing earlier outflows. If migration flows remain robust and fertility stabilises above replacement levels, Czechia is likely to sustain a positive growth trajectory, though any reversal in these drivers could quickly erode the recent gains.
