Long abstract
OECD Key Economic Indicators (KEI) Database
This interface provides access to long time series of growth rates for a number of Key Economic Indicators collected within the Main Economic Indicators database. Growth rates are presented as: (i) Growth on the previous period (annual, monthly and quarterly) and (ii) Growth on the same period a year earlier (for years quarters and months). For some indicators however, such as the current account balance (balance of payments) and financial indicators, the publication of growth rates is not particularly helpful and for these indicators this interface presents data in either US dollars or rates, where appropriate. Future versions of this interface will continue to reflect improvements including, for example, comparisons of ratios, such as the current account balance as a percent of GDP. |
