Significado en lenguaje sencillo

Economic indicators describe an economy, policy setting or survey using a published methodology. Observation date and release date are different and revisions are common.

Where it appears #

Use Economic Intelligence and Official Data for country/capability selection, latest observations, history, source, unit, release date and availability.

Step-by-step workflow #

1. Select country and dataset. 2. Read unit/frequency. 3. Check observation and release dates. 4. Note seasonal adjustment and revisions. 5. Compare like periods. 6. Open the official source.

Worked example #

A PMI of 53 is above the usual 50 no-change threshold but is not 53% output growth. CPI of 5% year-over-year uses a different comparison from 0.4% month-over-month.

How to interpret the result #

Positive/negative growth or inflation depends on the stated comparison. High/low is contextual. Unavailable means the source/capability did not provide a verified observation.

Unavailable and zero #

A genuine source-reported or calculated zero is displayed as 0. Unavailable (—) means verified evidence is absent, unsupported, stale or not computable; it is never silently changed to zero.

Limitations and common mistakes #

Base-year changes, surveys, revisions, seasonal adjustment and publication lag limit comparisons. A market move after release is not part of the indicator.

Market-specific differences #

CPI/GDP methods differ internationally; WPI and IIP entries are India-specific. Country selection must never display another country's rows as fallback.

Related terms and next steps #

Continue with glossary terms CPI, WPI, GDP, IIP, repo rate and PMI, then use source links to read the current release methodology.
