About this indicator

Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of Finland and how it changes over time. Published by Statistics Finland (Tilastokeskus), it is a structural indicator underpinning GDP per capita, population density and a range of per-head ratios.
How it's calculated
Drawn from the central population register, updated with births, deaths and net migration. It is reported as a population level at an annual reference date, with periodic revisions.
Market implications
Demographics shape Finland's potential growth, its labour supply and spending on pensions and healthcare, a challenge in an ageing country. It does not move markets in the short term but weighs on the long-run fiscal outlook.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series; figures are revised as registers are updated or migration statistics improve, and it does not immediately capture rapid shifts in migration flows.
