This dataset includes key monthly indicators of multiple countries published by OECD.

Activity & Production - Global - OECD - Key Short-term Indicators

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is an intergovernmental economic organization with 36 member countries, founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade. The OECD provides a forum in which governments can work together to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems.

This dataset includes monthly data on oil and other liquids production and consumption disaggregated by type of products for different countries. Production and consumption are expressed in millions of barrels per day. Petroleum supply includes the production of crude oil (including lease condensate), natural gas plant liquids, and other liquids, and it also includes refinery processing gain for volume (TBPD) only. Other Liquids include biodiesel, ethanol, liquids produced from coal, gas, and oil shale, Orimulsion, blending components, and other hydrocarbons.

Activity & Production - Global - US EIA - Petroleum & Other Liquids by Activities & Products

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is an independent agency of the U.S. Department of Energy. It collects, analyzes, and disseminates energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.

This dataset includes the monthly Business Confidence Index for countries, as published by the OECD. This index provides information on future developments, based upon opinion surveys on developments in production, orders and stocks of finished goods in the industry sector. It can be used to monitor output growth and to anticipate turning points in economic activity. Numbers above 100 suggest an increased confidence in near future business performance, and numbers below 100 indicate pessimism towards future performance.

This dataset includes annual data on production, consumption, trade, and reserves of natural gas from different countries. Data are expressed in billions of cubic feet (BCF), except for gross natural gas reserves, which are expressed in trillion cubic feet (TCF), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which are measured in millions of metric tons. To ensure comparability of data across countries, natural gas production numbers exclude non-hydrocarbon gases for all countries. EIA no longer updates vented and flared natural gas production or reinjected natural gas production. Only dry natural gas production is published annually.

This dataset includes monthly figures for the World Uncertainty Index (WUI). This index measures overall uncertainty across the globe. The index is a GDP-weighted average for 71 countries.

Activity & Production - Global - WUI - World Uncertainty Index 

The World Uncertainty Index (WUI) is a global index developed by the World Bank that measures economic, political, and social uncertainty in countries around the world. It is composed of different indicators such as economic policy uncertainty, political instability, and economic volatility. The WUI is used to assess the level of uncertainty in a given country, enabling the identification of areas of economic risk and vulnerability.

World Uncertainty Index (WUI)

This dataset includes OECD's Amplitude adjusted and normalised Composite Leading Indicators. The composite leading indicator (CLI) is designed to provide early signals of turning points in business cycles showing fluctuation of the economic activity around its long term potential level. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is used as the reference for identification of turning points in the growth cycle for all countries, except for China for which the OECD relies on the value added of industry at 1995 prices. The components of the CLI are time series which exhibit leading relationship with the reference series (GDP) at turning points. A CLI reading above (below) 100 is always an indication that anticipates levels of GDP above (below) long-term trend. Month-on-month increases (decreases) in the CLI generally imply an acceleration (deceleration) in anticipated GDP growth, above (below) long-term GDP growth. The monthly level of the CLI does not provide a quantifiable measure of GDP growth. The further the CLI reading from 100, the greater the degree of confidence (strength) can be attached to the CLI signal, and in particular whether GDP is expected to be above or below long-term trend.
