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 inhabitants of Iran and how it changes over time. It is a structural indicator used as the base for ratios such as GDP per capita, population density and per-head rates.
How it's calculated
The figure is compiled by the Statistical Centre of Iran from population censuses, updated between censuses with births, deaths and net migration. It is usually released as an annual figure referring to a set reference date.
Market implications
Demographic trends shape the economy's potential growth, labour supply, consumption and spending on pensions and healthcare. It is a long-term context indicator with little immediate impact on the currency or interest rates.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series: intercensal figures are estimates subject to revision once a new census or better migration data become available.
