The natural decrease in the population was 42,000 for the year, the difference between 85,200 live births and 127,200 deaths.
The number of live births fell by 3.7% and the fertility rate slipped to 1.5% from 1.52%.
The number of deaths dropped 6.8%. Since it first returned to power in 2010, the Fidesz-led government has enacted measures such as tax cuts for large families (with four or more children) and preferential loans in a bid to turn around the falling population growth.
