| Summary: | Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) produces annual, quarterly and monthly data for main economic indicators (MEI). The variables cover national accounts, industrial production, employment, prices, business trends and trade for the member countries of the OECD and select non-member countries. The dataset also includes the OECD's leading indicators (key variables that signal changes in the business cycle). The OECD defines each variable separately for each country. Nevertheless, the data are considered sufficiently similar to enable comparisons between countries, especially for relative values and rates of change. These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in January 2003. Main Topics : The topics listed below correspond to the first OECD subject level: leading indicators (indicators that run 6-12 months ahead of GNP cycle) national accounts national income production business tendency surveys consumer surveys manufacturing construction domestic demand employment unemployment other labour market indicators labour compensation producer prices consumer price index other prices monetary aggregates and their components domestic credit and debt interest rates security issues share prices currency conversions external finance foreign trade balance of payments capital and financial accounts financial accounts net errors and omissions world trade
