   Albania: all 12 UN projections since 1998 expected more people than there are

   The UN's 1998 projection expected 3.76M for 2023; the outcome was 2.81M (−25%). The latest checked one: the UN's 2022 projection expected 2.83M for 2023; the outcome was 2.81M (−1%). "Outcome" here is the UN's own current estimate, not registration data.
