EIU Country Data covers 320 series per country. The variables are divided into the following seven major categories:

• Gross domestic product
• Fiscal and monetary indicators
• Demographics and income
• Foreign payments
• External debt stock
• External debt service
• External trade

You can look at individual countries in great detail - to see inflation rates, market size, debt, private consumption, interest rates etc. You can also compare economic criteria across your choice of regions or benchmark country performance against regional statistics.

Country Outlooks, which are textual summaries of the EIU’s short term political and economic forecasts, are also included in EIU Country Data.

Compare regional aggregates to look at the performance of a region as a whole – or use them as a benchmark.
