As of 24 March 2026, no vital statistics (births and deaths data) disaggregated by nationality are available on FCSC’s website for 2023 and 2024.
It is therefore impossible to update our disaggregated population estimates beyond 2022.

Last date of access: 24 March 2026.

GLMM and GRC cannot guarantee that the link to access the source will not change;
that the information will not be removed from the website it was obtained from;
that no geo-blockages will be imposed; or that the information will not be available for any another reason.
