How to use the Macroeconomics Indicator
With over 7000 macroeconomic indicators available, we’ve made it easier to find the data points you need using predefined drop-down menus
available for region, individual country topics and indicators.
In the drop-down menu named “Region”, which you will find on the upper left corner of the window, you can select countries for
predefined regions such as World, TOP, EU, Scandinavia G7, OPEC and more.
|
The next drop-down menu you will find is “Country”. Here you can select and/or unselect all or individual countries.
|
The next drop-down menu is “Topic”. Here you can select one or several Macroeconomic topics that you want to display.
You can select topics such as Business, Climate, Consumer, GDP and more.
|
The last drop-down menu is “Indicator”. This menu will allow for even more granular selection of specific indicators within a topic.
As you will see, the topics you choose in the “Topic”-menu will affect the selection in the “Indicator”-menu.
|
Each indicator comes with a detailed overview window where historical values are combined with forecasted values
both in a chart and as a table. You can create a macro overview by highlighting one row with a topic→ Then click on the Macro Overview in the
upper right corner→ You can also use the shortcut CTRL + O. Looking at the Macro overview window, the chart displays a green section and
a yellow section. The green sections shows the actual data, while the yellow section shows the forecasted data.
|
You can also create a Historical chart or a Bar chart. To do so, highlight a row with a topic → Click on Historical or Bar chart
in the upper right corner. When you place the cursor over one of the bars in the Bar chart, you will see that the corresponding country is highlighted in the
bottom section.
|
You can create a visual comparison of the indicator you have chosen. First, you need to highlight one row with a topic →
Then, click on Compare for a full comparison between countries available in that given indicator. You will find the button in the upper right corner.
|
The tab called Macro Grid shows an overview of selected countries and their GDP, GDP Growth Rate, Interest rate,
Inflation rate and Unemployment. Green indicates high value, while red indicates a low value. Yellow indicates a mid-high value and orange indicates
a mid-low value.
