About this indicator

International Monetary Fund
Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Records the number of inhabitants of Sweden and how it changes over time. The official figure is produced by Statistics Sweden (SCB) and underpins a wide range of economic and social ratios, such as GDP per capita, population density and per-head rates.
How it's calculated
In Sweden the population is updated from the population register, adding births, deaths and net migration. It is usually released as a headcount at a reference date, with quarterly figures also available.
Market implications
Demographics shape Sweden's potential growth, labour supply, consumption and the cost of its generous welfare state. Immigration has been the main driver of population growth and supports the working-age population.
Limitations
Although Sweden's population register is reliable, the figure can be revised and does not fully capture the most recent migration flows or unregistered residents.
