Economic Indicators Dashboard

2 min read

Macro data on Ezana (growth, inflation, labor, rates, and more) lives in the Datasets section rather than in a separate Research dashboard. The main tool is the OECD Macro Data explorer, which puts harmonised OECD Economic Outlook indicators for member countries on one comparable basis.

Where to find it

  • Datasets, then Global Empire Lighthouse, then OECD Macro Data (the page at /datasets/oecd-macro).
  • Datasets, then Global, macro & wealth data for a headline macro snapshot and billionaire wealth tracking.

A dedicated Economic Indicators page under Research is not currently available.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the OECD Macro Data explorer.
  2. Pick a lens: Growth, Households, Inflation, Rates, Government, or External (or All).
  3. Choose an indicator and scan the country heatmap and ranking.
  4. Select a country to see its profile and history, and set the window: 1961–2025, Since 1990, or Last 20Y.
  5. Turn on Head-to-head to compare two countries.

Your selections are kept in the page address, so you can bookmark or share a view. The explorer opens with an aggregates strip for the OECD area, then the lens pills, the country matrix, a ranking, a radar and profile for the selected country, its long-run history, and a set of historical eras for context.

Things to know

  • Values labelled 2024–25 PROJ are OECD projections, not reported figures.
  • Official series are revised; recent periods may change.
  • A missing value shows as a gap rather than an estimate.
  • The explorer also has an Empire Dimensions mode that links to Empire Rankings.
  • For macro releases as they happen, turn on Macro Events for the in-app bell in Settings, then Notifications.

Troubleshooting

  • Country missing? Coverage is OECD member countries and aggregates.
  • History chart says “No data”? That indicator is not reported for the country or window.
  • Series looks flat? Try a longer window.
