About this indicator

Source
International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Records the number of people living in Russia and how it changes over time. Published by the state statistics service Rosstat, it is a structural indicator underpinning economic and social ratios such as GDP per capita.
How it's calculated
Derived from the population census and residence statistics, with the figure rolled forward using births, deaths and net migration at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Russia's demographics shape its potential growth, the size of its labour force and pension and healthcare spending. Population decline and low fertility are a structural drag on the economy.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series; inter-census figures are estimates subject to revision and net migration is hard to measure precisely, particularly temporary flows.
