Annual population growth in percent — natural increase together with migration.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country. For all of them that is 2025.
Top-20 · % per year
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.
