About this indicator

International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the total number of residents living in Denmark and how it evolves over time. It is published by Statistics Denmark and is a structural indicator that underpins ratios such as GDP per capita, population density and per-head rates.
How it's calculated
Statistics Denmark compiles the figure from the central population register (CPR), updating it with births, deaths and net migration. It is usually given as the headcount at a reference date (typically 1 January) and on a quarterly basis.
Market implications
Population dynamics shape Denmark's potential growth, labour supply, consumption and spending on pensions and healthcare. It is a low-frequency release with limited direct market impact, but central to fiscal planning and public policy.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency indicator, and figures between counts are estimates subject to revision as administrative registers or migration data improve. It does not capture short-term cyclical swings or the transient population.
