Country Indicators: Every Series a Country Reports, for 218 Countries, Back to 1960
For 218 countries, every indicator from GDP to housing with its last value, the previous one, and the highest and lowest on record back to 1960, in tables grouped by theme.
The country indicators page is a reference for the world's economies. For each of 218 countries it lists fifty-three annual series, from GDP and its growth to inflation, unemployment, trade, government debt, population and housing, each with its latest value, the previous one, and the highest and lowest on record in a series that reaches back to 1960.
The tables are grouped by theme, so a country's growth, prices, labour market, external balance and public finances are read as sections, and the same series are kept for every country so that two can be compared on the same terms.
The annual series are joined by the economic calendar's higher-frequency data where a country reports it, so the monthly prints and the long history sit on one page.
