Where every figure stands
Every country and every indicator on one page, with the direction each has moved over a year — the fastest way to see who is an outlier. Comparisons between countries are rough: the euro area figures use harmonised definitions, the others national ones.
Consumer price inflation · % YoY
How fast consumer prices are rising against the same month a year earlier. The shaded bands mark the pandemic and the energy price shock; the full history reaches back to 1955.

Central bank policy rate · %
The rate each central bank sets. The euro-area members are absent individually because they have set none of their own since the euro — the euro area rate governs them, and their pages say so.

Government debt · % of GDP
Government debt measured against annual output, at the end of the year. The euro area figures follow the Maastricht definition; the United States is the OECD's public sector debt, which values and consolidates differently and so reads higher than the ratio usually quoted for it, as do Norway, Switzerland, Canada and Australia. Five countries are missing: for four of them the only series on offer mixes actuals with projections, and a forecast has no business on a page of observations, while South Korea's stops in 2023.
