Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of Morocco and how it changes over time. Published by the High Commission for Planning (HCP), 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 general population census and from data on births, deaths and migration, with projections between censuses. It is reported as a population level at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographics shape the Moroccan economy's potential growth, its large young labour supply and domestic demand; a population shifting towards ageing will change the need for jobs and social protection. It frames the long-run outlook.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series; intercensal figures are projections subject to revision, and internal and external migration is not always fully recorded.
