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 Mexico and how it changes over time. Published by INEGI, this structural figure underpins many per-capita indicators such as GDP per head, population density and birth and death rates.
How it's calculated
Estimated from INEGI's population and housing censuses together with vital and migration statistics, updating the between-census figure with births, deaths and net migration. It is usually reported as total population at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographics shape Mexico's potential growth, the size of its labour force, domestic consumption and spending on pensions and healthcare. A shift in the population trend reshapes long-term fiscal planning and public policy.
Limitations
This is a low-frequency reading with little market impact. Between-census figures are estimates subject to revision once a new census or better migration data become available, and they cannot capture rapid cyclical changes.
