Every number on this site comes from an official publisher and is fetched directly from that publisher's own API or download. Builds run twice a day, at 06:00 and 18:00 UTC, and again when the server restarts; the last one finished at 2 Nov 2026, 06:01 UTC.
Who publishes what
- FRED, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, redistributes US series from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Department of Labor, the Federal Reserve Board and the regional Federal Reserve Banks. It also mirrors the OECD series used here for goods exports in every region except the euro area, for Japan's unemployment rate and call rate, and for India's ten-year yield.
- OECD for the composite leading indicators, for consumer prices in China and India, and for China's government bond yield and interbank rate.
- Eurostat and the European Central Bank for the euro area.
- Bank for International Settlements for credit-to-GDP gaps and debt service ratios in every region.
- Office for National Statistics and the Bank of England for the United Kingdom.
- Ministry of Finance, Japan for government bond yields, the Bank of Japan for core inflation, and the Cabinet Office of Japan for the Economy Watchers Survey.
- National Bureau of Statistics of China for the manufacturing PMI and core inflation.
- Reserve Bank of India for the policy repo rate.
- Office of Financial Research, US Treasury, for its financial stress index.
- World Bank for the GDP weights.

Revisions
Publishers revise. When a fetched value differs from the one stored, the earlier value is kept and shown on the indicator page under Revision history. The front page never shows a number without its as-of date.
Derived series
Some indicators are computed from more than one input: a ten-year yield minus a short rate, the average of two regional surveys, the percentage change of a price index over twelve months. The indicator page says which inputs and how. The raw inputs are downloadable as CSV and JSON from each indicator page.
Proxies
Where the ideal series is not freely available a labelled proxy is used: the four large European economies stand in for the euro area in the OECD leading indicator, Bank Rate for the three-month gilt, the two-year for the three-month JGB. Each proxy is marked on its page and in the region table.
