The MEI includes a wide range of short-term economic indicators. The following table contains a draft list of "target" indicators required by the OECD for inclusion in the monthly publication, though no one Member country compiles all the indicators in the list. The main purpose of the target list is to provide focus for OECD requests to Member country agencies and other international organisations for MEI data and methodological information. Such focus is necessary to ensure the collection of a range of indicators "common" to as many Member countries as possible.
The target indicators listed in the following table represents what the OECD would like to collect for inclusion in MEI. The MEI Data Inventory lists what the OECD actually collects and disseminates in both paper and electronic media.
