Indicators

The national macro board — sixteen headline series, each with the source that produced it, the moment it was cut and the method behind it. Every number here is traceable.

SituationMinister of Economy · Steady State

Sixteen headline series are current: real GDP growth 2.4%, headline CPI 3.1%, unemployment 8.6%, external reserves $3.12B at 6.1 months of import cover. Three revisions were carried this month and two series — Q2 visitor spend and Q2 debt-to-GDP — are held for revision. Every figure on this board carries a source, a timestamp and a method; nothing is published on estimate alone.
