Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of Peru and how it changes over time. Published by the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI), 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 population census and from data on births, deaths and net migration, using projections between censuses. It is reported as a population level at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographics shape the Peruvian economy's potential growth, its labour supply and domestic demand; recent regional migration has altered the pace of population growth. It frames the long-run outlook rather than short-term market moves.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series; intercensal figures are projections subject to revision, and recent migration flows make an accurate count difficult.
