Good Morning from #Germany where 37,120 asylum applications were submitted in Nov, the highest number in one month since 2016.

From January to November 2023, a total of 325,801 asylum applications were submitted in Germany. This represents a massive increase compared to previous year, but the figures are still nowhere near the level of 2015 and 2016.

"Based on current trends, applications could exceed 1 million by the end of 2023," the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) said in a statement.
