About this indicator

International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
It records the number of inhabitants of Belarus and how it changes over time. It is a structural indicator underpinning many economic and social ratios (GDP per capita, density, per-head rates). It is published by the National Statistical Committee (Belstat).
How it's calculated
It is derived from population censuses and updated with records of births, deaths and net migration. A figure referring to an annual reference date is usually provided.
Market implications
Demographic trends shape potential growth, the labour market, consumption and spending on pensions and healthcare. In Belarus, ageing and emigration weigh on a population in long-term decline.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure, and intercensal numbers are estimates subject to revision with each new census or better migration data. Migration flows are hard to measure precisely.
