Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of Greece and how it changes over time. Published by the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT), it is a structural indicator underpinning GDP per capita, population density and a range of per-head ratios.
How it's calculated
Estimated from the population census and from data on births, deaths and net migration, which update the figure between censuses. It is reported as a population level at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographics shape the Greek economy's potential growth, its labour market and the sustainability of pension and healthcare spending, especially after the crisis-era emigration. It frames long-run expectations more than day-to-day market moves.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series; intercensal figures are estimates subject to revision when new censuses or better migration data arrive, and emigration is not always fully recorded.
