Foreigners now represent about a 10th of Germany's population as their numbers hit a record in Europe's biggest economy, the government said Monday, according to dpa. Nearly 8.2 million people with foreign nationalities were registered with authorities at the end of 2014, the Federal Statistical Office reported. That number was the highest recorded since the registry's introduction in 1967. The total represented an increase of 519,300 people, or 6.8 per cent, from 2013, the office said. The rise was bigger than the 5.8 per cent seen from 2012 to 2013.
