Economic indicators for every country, every number with its date and official source
Economic indicators for every country, every number with its date and official source: the DESK Macro Terminal holds 969 indicators for 218 countries and territories, each with its year or month and the publisher it comes from – the World Bank, OECD, BIS, ECB, US agencies and national statistical offices.
Open without an account: 16 country pages with World Bank indicators and 13 data pages with the latest value, its date and source in the first sentence and, where the agency schedules it, the next release.

Frequently asked questions
Where do the figures come from?
From official publishers: the World Bank, OECD, BIS, ECB, US agencies such as BLS, BEA, the Fed and EIA, and national statistical offices. Every figure shows its publisher and its year or month; the Sources page lists each provider with its licence.
How current are the figures?
Each figure is the latest one its publisher has released; the year or month is shown next to it. DESK checks its sources at least daily. The open data pages say at the top when they were last updated and when the next figure is due.
Is it free?
The country pages, data pages, explainers, glossary and calculators are free to read without an account. The full Macro Terminal with all 218 countries and 969 indicators is part of the DESK subscription.
How is this different from the World Bank and the IMF?
The World Bank and the IMF publish statistics themselves. DESK brings figures from many publishers together on one page per country, as a world map and as a history, and names the publisher at every figure.
How is this different from Trading Economics?
Trading Economics is a very large database with its own forecasts, data export and an API. DESK shows fewer indicators, only forecasts by named institutions, and puts the economy next to company pages, crypto, news and a trading journal.
This is one page of many.
- In the Macro Terminal every country has one page with every topic, each indicator with its history and source.
- World maps for every indicator, countries side by side, trade and resources.
- Plus company pages, crypto, news and a trading journal: one research terminal for macro data, company data, crypto and your trading journal.
