About this indicator

Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the total population of the Netherlands and how it evolves over time. It is published by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and is a structural indicator underpinning ratios such as GDP per capita and population density.
How it's calculated
CBS derives the figure from the municipal population register, updated continuously with births, deaths and net migration. It is released frequently and at reference dates.
Market implications
Dutch demographics influence labour supply, housing and domestic demand in one of Europe's most densely populated economies. It is a structural, low-market-impact release, but relevant to potential growth and housing pressures.
Limitations
It is a relatively low-frequency figure sensitive to migration flows, whose contribution to population growth can be revised. It does not capture the transient population or short-term cyclical swings.
