Country Report

Information the way you need it

Central to each report is a review and analysis of the most significant recent political and economic developments in that country. Country Reports set the events in context and explain their significance—letting you filter out the noise of daily news reports and keeping you current on the most important issues.

Reports deliver the latest data on key economic indicators, which are regularly updated by our team of economists. Data are clearly laid out in tables and charts showing the country’s economic position and setting this in context within the region. Economic statistics are forecast out to five years.

Formatting and content is consistent across all regular reports, making country-by-country comparisons straightforward. Reports are broken down into four categories. Categories covered include:

• Executive Summary
• Five Year Outlook — five-year forecast of political trends, economic policy, and the domestic economy.
• Data and Charts — annual, quarterly, and monthly statistical tables.
• Country Snapshot — basic data, ministries, ministers, officials, and main political parties.
