Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of Indonesia and how it changes over time. Published by the central statistics agency (BPS, Badan Pusat Statistik), 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 surveys and records of births, deaths and migration, with projections between censuses. It is reported as a population level at an annual reference date.
Market implications
As one of the world's largest populations, Indonesia's demographics underpin a vast domestic market and a young workforce that drives its potential growth. It frames long-run expectations for consumption and productive capacity rather than day-to-day market moves.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series; intercensal figures are projections subject to revision, and the archipelago's geographic dispersion complicates an exact count.
