Romania: in September there were nearly 1.4 deaths for every birth
Published
In September 2026, Romania registered 13,143 births and 17,834 deaths. The number of people who died was about 1.4 times higher than the number of newborns.
This difference means that the natural increase remained negative. Natural increase is the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths in a given period. In September, the number of deaths exceeded the number of births by 4,691.
When natural increase is negative, the country's population decreases due to natural movement, that is, without taking migration into account. The data show that, in this month, births did not offset the number of people who died.
These figures show a situation that has persisted in Romania for a longer time. The information was published by Digi24, which presented the data for September 2026.
