SPAIN’S population decreased for the first time in five years during 2020 with drop blamed on deaths caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Preliminary figures released by Spain’s National Statistics Institute (INE) on Tuesday showed that the number of inhabitants in the country dropped by 106,146, or 0.2% during 2020.
Spain’s population at the end of 2020 stands at 47.34 million with Spanish citizens counting for 41.94 million of the total, a decline of 79,815 people on a year earlier.
Government data puts the official number of those who died from Covid-19 at 50,837 during 2020 but the new population statistics give a clearer picture.
Spain is set to receive its first batch of Janssen vaccines on Tuesday April 13th 2021, the only Covid inoculation that currently requires a single dose. Who will Spanish authorities make it available to?

Has the pandemic made it easier for people to get a mortgage for a Spanish property? Has there been a drop in prices that’s allowed those with less capital to access the housing market? This is what property hunters with less money available for a deposit need to know about Spain’s housing and mortgage market in 2021.
What is the latest?
There were high expectations that 2021 would be the year that property prices in Spain would come tumbling down.
This was forecast by different international credit agencies including Standards and Poor’s, who said the Iberian nation would go from being one of the countries where prices fall the most as a result of the coronavirus crisis in 2021, only to then be among the markets where housing will become more expensive in 2022.
