Kaleidic Economics

Macroeconomic dashboard

In addition to the data compiled by Kaleidic Economics, here are some ways to get a snapshot of key economic indicators:

• GDP, CPI, Unemployment
  • See "Key figures" on the right hand side of http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/index.html
  • See this BBC News economy tracker
• CPI: "All releases of Consumer Price Indices"
  • See here for background notes
  • For the US economy the Atlanta Fed has an excellent dashboard here.
• Nominal GDP: 
  • See our "Guide to using the UK National Accounts"
  • See NGDP
• Broad money supply: Bankstats > A2.2.3 "Monthly M4 and M4 lending excluding intermediate OFCs"
  • For the Monetary Base see A1.1.1 "Notes and coin and reserve balances"
  • Also see MA 
• Investment: 
  • See our "Guide to using the UK National Accounts"
  • Table F

For an example of a very well designed and highly useful dashboard see the TUC's Touchstone Blog:

For a horribly designed and hard to use dashboard, see ONS Key Figures.
