World Economic Outlook Database April 2016

World Economic Outlook

Source details

The World Economic Outlook (WEO) database is created during the biannual World Economic Outlook exercise and contains selected macroeconomic data series from the statistical appendix of the World Economic Outlook report.
The WEO report presents the IMF staff's analysis and projections of economic developments at the global level, in major country groups and in many individual countries.
The WEO is released in April and September/October each year.

Use the WEO database to find data on:
- national accounts
- inflation
- unemployment rates
- balance of payments
- fiscal indicators
- trade for countries and country groups (aggregates)
- commodity prices whose data are reported by the IMF
Selected indicators from the latest online WEO database, such as GDP growth and inflation, are available via World Economic Outlook on Google Public Data Explorer.

Data for Macao Special Administrative Region and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are included in data aggregated for the advanced economies. Macao is a Special Administrative Region of China, and Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, but the WEO maintains statistical data for both economies on a separate and independent basis.
Argentina’s and Venezuela’s consumer prices are excluded from all the WEO groups’ aggregates.
As in the October 2015 WEO, data for Syria are excluded from 2011 onward because of the ongoing conflict and the related lack of data.
