The number of inhabitants in the Czech Republic rose by around 11,000 in the first half of the year to now stand just short of 10.565 million according to the Czech Statistical Office. One of the main factors in the increase has been immigration, but the numbers of births has also exceeded the number of deaths. Immigration counted for around 10,000 of the increase in population. Around 20,000 people came to the Czech Republic with around half that number leaving.
