Access to reliable and comparable data is essential for understanding ongoing developments in the Nordic Region. The Nordic Statistics Database provides a hub where new figures are continuously added and updated, helping policymakers, researchers, and the public base decisions and analysis on the latest data and comparable insights.
The September 2025 update covers new figures across several key areas, including economy, demography, and Vision 2030.
Economic trends
Fresh quarterly and monthly indicators give an up-to-date picture of how the Nordic economies are performing.
- Economic key-figures (Q2) are now available for economic growth, employment rates, and the NEET rate (young people not in education, employment or training).
- Monthly indicators (from July/August) include updated figures for imports, exports, unemployment, and inflation. These are also visualised in the Current Economic State dashboard, making it easy to track short-term economic developments across the Nordic Region.
Population and demography
New values for several demographic indicators shed light on demographic shifts:
- Life expectancy and the gap in life expectancy between men and women.
- Population by marital status.
- Migration flows covering immigration, emigration, and net migration.
Vision 2030 indicators
The Nordic Statistics Database includes a visual dashboard tracking progress towards the Nordic Vision 2030. Latest updates in these indicators include:

About the Nordic Statistics Database
The Nordic Statistics Database is a collection of comparative data on key societal trends across the Nordic Region. Managed by Nordregio under the auspices of the Nordic Council of Ministers, the database compiles data from national statistical institutes (NSIs), the Nordic Health and Welfare Statistics database, other Nordic data providers, and international sources including Eurostat, OECD, and the UN.
Building on expertise in regional data, statistics and research, Nordregio has the role of counselling, communicating, and developing activities around the Nordic Statistics Database in close cooperation with national statistical agencies, Statisticon and the Nordic Council of Ministers.
The database is updated regularly to provide easy access to the latest available data across key policy areas. The next update is scheduled for the end of October 2025.
