Chamber of Commerce: a new economic indicator aggregator is now available on the website, featuring charts and data updated in real time
The tool allows you to compare a range of indicators, such as growth, net primary expenditure and the at-risk-of-poverty rate
Key points
A new tool that allows users to aggregate economic data in real time is now available on the Chamber of Deputies’ website. The portal, which is the result of collaboration between various departments of the Chamber, is interactive and allows users to access and compare numerous indicators, ranging from growth to net primary expenditure, including the at-risk-of-poverty rate, employment, unemployment, debt and the structural primary balance.
How it works
The tool is divided into two sections: “economic indicators” and “public finance indicators”. Each section is further divided into subsections dedicated to the various indicators, which provide up-to-date data, charts, dossiers and reports from authoritative national and international institutions such as Istat, OECD and the International Monetary Fund.
Charts and glossary
The aggregator allows users to compare data by presenting it in graphical form. The data is updated in real time with key forecasts and statistics from publications by selected research centres. The portal also allows users to customise their searches and compare data across countries, drawing on a range of selectable sources.
The website also features a glossary providing clear and concise definitions of technical terms such as structural net debt, nominal net debt, nominal primary balance, structural primary balance, the cyclical component of the balance and the output gap.
Where to find it
The tool can be found in the ‘Topics’ section of the Chamber’s website and provides information resources designed for a general audience as well.
