What it does
Trading Economics publishes country indicators, market tables, economic news and a release calendar. Public pages can be browsed without an account. Data subscriptions and an application programming interface (API) provide separate routes for downloads and software integrations.
Look up a country or an indicator
The Countries and Indicators sections organize series such as inflation, interest rates and employment. The Calendar helps you follow scheduled releases. For example, a country comparison can place the latest inflation and unemployment figures beside growth data without treating those different measures as interchangeable.
Browser access versus a data subscription
Public tables serve quick lookups. Data Subscriptions, API Access and the Excel Add-In are separate links for recurring data work. Paid trials are not free: Trading Economics says the trial fee is non-refundable and the account is charged automatically unless cancelled before expiry.
Trial access is limited to 100,000 data points and 100 data requests. Choose the relevant data route before paying; access to a public chart does not establish permission to redistribute its underlying series.
