Where every figure stands
The latest reading for each indicator and each country it covers, with the direction it moved over a year. Values are not comparable across providers: the euro area uses harmonised definitions, the others their 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.

Unemployment rate · % of labour force
The share of the labour force without work. It moves slowly, which is what makes a sharp turn in it worth noticing.

Central bank policy rate · %
The rate each central bank sets. Germany, France and Italy are absent because they have set none of their own since 1999 — the euro area rate governs them.

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. Four countries are missing because the only series on offer for them mixes actuals with projections, and a forecast has no business on a page of observations.
