Romania continues to experience a natural population decline, with deaths outnumbering births. In September 2026, there were 14 deaths for every 10 births, according to the National Institute of Statistics. This trend has persisted, with a negative natural growth rate indicating a demographic reduction. The statistics show a consistent pattern of more deaths than births, despite a decrease in both figures compared to the previous month. In August 2026, there were 13,243 births and 18,875 deaths, resulting in a loss of over 5,600 people. The demographic imbalance remains evident, highlighting ongoing challenges for the country's population dynamics.
