Leading Indicators

The OECD composite leading indicator (CLI) is designed to provide early signals of turning points (peaks and troughs) between expansions and slowdowns of economic activity. The OECD compiles CLIs for 29 member countries, for 6 non-member economies and for 7 country groupings such as Euro zone. The data are available from the beginning of 1960s for most countries.
