Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of Honduras and how it changes over time. Published by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), 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 together with data on births, deaths and net migration, using demographic projections between censuses. It is reported as a population level at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographics shape the Honduran economy's potential growth, labour supply and domestic demand; heavy emigration also feeds remittances, a key inflow for the country. It frames the long-run outlook rather than short-term market moves.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series; intercensal figures are projections subject to revision, and high informal migration makes an accurate count difficult.
