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 number of inhabitants of Luxembourg 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 National Institute of Statistics (STATEC) from population censuses and registers, updated with births, deaths and net migration, with data harmonised by Eurostat. 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. In Luxembourg, strong immigration drives population growth and underpins the labour market. 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. The official count excludes the many cross-border workers who do not reside in the country.
