In July 2010, the OECD reviewed the CLI for 3 countries (China, India, Indonesia). In doing so, some component series have been dropped or replaced. As a consequence, chronology of turning points of the CLIs as well as component series have been revised. Review of the CLI for 3 countries (China, India and Indonesia), July 2010, OECD (PDF).
In February 2010, the OECD reviewed the CLI for 8 countries (Brazil, China, Indonesia, Ireland, Korea, the Slovak Republic, Switzerland, the Russian Federation). In doing so, some component series have been dropped or replaced. As a consequence, chronology of turning points of the CLIs as well as component series have been revised. Review of the CLI for 8 countries (Brazil, China, Indonesia, Ireland, Korea, the Slovak Republic, Switzerland, the Russian Federation), February 2010, OECD (PDF).
The OECD has developed CLIs for the major six OECD non-member economies (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russian Federation and South Africa) monitored by the organisation and six recently new OECD member countries (Korea, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovak Republic). CLIs for above countries were released for the first time in April 2006. A technical paper which outlines the procedures used for compiling the CLIs for the twelve new countries can be downloaded here.
In December 2002, for 16 countries, the OECD updated the reference chronology of turning points of the CLIs as well as the chronology of turning points for component series. At the same time, some component series have been dropped or replaced. Download the Update
