Read the latest values
The strip under the title and the table below show the most recent figure for each country, with its as-of date.
Sources & methodology
Every series is sourced from an official provider and shown with its exact attribution. We store a copy that refreshes daily; values are rendered unmodified, except for the optional Index-to-100 rebasing on the house price index and the exchange rate.
OECD
Inflation (CPI), short-term/policy rates, unemployment (US, Canada, the UK & South Africa), GDP growth, house prices, 10-year bond yields and exchange rates against the US dollar.

The underlying data is free from the original providers. We only re-publish it in a form that is easy to compare across countries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the macro graphs tool free?
Yes. The tool is free to use, with no sign-up, no email and no paywall. The underlying data is also free from the original providers — we simply make it easy to compare across countries in one chart.
Where does the data come from?
From official sources: the OECD, Eurostat and the Czech National Bank. Each series shows its own source attribution, and the methodology section below lists every source in full.
How often is the data updated?
We refresh the data daily from the original providers. Most macro series are monthly or quarterly, so values change only when a new official release is published — the "Last updated" line shows when we last checked.
Why can't I rebase every indicator to 100?
Rebasing (Index to 100) is offered for the indicators published under a licence that permits it — the house price index and the exchange rate against the US dollar. Percentage series and the Czech policy rate are shown exactly as released by their source, unmodified, to respect the data licence.
Why is Germany missing for the policy rate?
Germany uses the European Central Bank's rate, which is shown on the Euro area line. To avoid duplicating the same number, there is no separate German policy-rate series.
