1995, as UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The population growth rate is how fast a country's population changed in a year, in per cent, counting births, deaths and migration together. A negative figure means the population shrank.

Population Growth Rate, 1995 covers 222 countries. Rwanda is highest, at 9.897; Montserrat is lowest, at -7.569. The middle country reads 1.585. Against 1994, 221 values changed (65 up, 156 down), the same countries are covered.
