About this indicator

Source
International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the total population of Israel and how it evolves over time. It is published by the Central Bureau of Statistics and is a structural indicator underpinning ratios such as GDP per capita and population density.
How it's calculated
The figure is based on the population register and the census, updated with births, deaths and net migration (including immigration). It is reported as the population at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Israel stands out for high population growth by advanced-economy standards, driven by births and immigration, which supports labour supply and domestic demand. It is a structural release with little market impact but relevant to potential growth.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure, and intercensal numbers are estimates subject to revision, and are particularly sensitive to migration flows, which can vary sharply from one year to the next.
