The United Kingdom government has recorded its lowest net migration figure in more than two years, the nation’s Office for National Statistics report said on Thursday. The results of 2,73,000, however, still do not meet the government’s goal of a net migration figure under 1,00,000, BBC reported.

The net migration figures record the difference between the number of people coming to live in the UK and those leaving. While 5,96,000 people migrated to the UK, 3,23,000 left the country in the year ending September 2016.

The report is the first to include migration estimates after the Brexit referendum last June, when Britain had voted to leave the European Union. Nicola White, head of international migration statistics at the Office of National Statistics, said it was “too early” to gauge the impact of the referendum on long-term migration, BBC reported. The 2,73,000-figure is much lower than the September 2015 pre-Brexit record of 3,22,000.

The report pegged immigration numbers into the UK at 5,96,000 – comprising 2,68,000 European Union citizens, 2,57,000 non-EU citizens and 71,000 British citizens. The numbers of those who left the UK during the same period amounted to 3,23,000, including 1,28,000 British citizens, 1,03,000 EU citizens and 93,000 non-EU citizens. The number of people leaving Britain is the highest in more than six years.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May had promised to increase restrictions on immigration after Brexit. Immigration Robert Goodwill said the government would “use the opportunity to take control of immigration from within the EU as we begin Brexit negotiations in the coming weeks. The UK will always welcome those who contribute and benefit our country, but there is no consent for uncontrolled immigration,” BBC reported.
