Foreign immigration remains at a high level despite decline

Immigration from abroad to Germany remains at a high level in 2023, even if it is significantly lower than in the previous year. A recent analysis by economic and property data provider empirica regio GmbH shows that Germany recorded net immigration of around 660,000 people in 2023. After almost 1.5 million net immigrants in 2022 and a good 1.1 million immigrants in 2015, this is still the third-highest figure since 1992. With a good 121,000 net immigrants, Ukrainians make up the largest group of immigrants.
