Economic Data

Economic databases available on RIMES are numerical time-series, for part or all of a single economy or the international economy. When they are time-series the data sets are usually monthly but can be quarterly and annual. The data may be adjusted in various ways, most commonly adjusted or unadjusted for seasonal fluctuations.

Our primary sources for Economic data are Global Insight (DRI) and Reuters EcoWin. This data covers economic and financial items for countries, regions, and industries. Economic and forecast data facilitate financial and industry analysis related to:

• Developed Markets - United States, Canada, Europe and Japan
• Emerging Markets - Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America and Eastern Europe
• Regional Markets - United States, Canada and Europe
