FactSet Economics with Global Insight

FactSet Economics is a comprehensive data package that includes several global as well as country-specific databases. This combination of databases is designed to facilitate your economic and financial data analysis needs on a global scale, and is tightly integrated into our powerful Economic Analysis application.

FactSet Economics featuring Global Insight includes the following databases:

Consensus Economics
Each month, Consensus Economics polls more than 600 economists around the world for their economic forecasts and views. These surveys cover estimates for the principal macroeconomic variables (including GDP growth, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates) in more than 70 countries across the world's major industrialized countries, as well as the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Eastern Europe.

Eurostat
Eurostat is the official statistical office for the European Union, and the key source of statistics at the European level. The Eurostat database covers the macroeconomic, industrial and financial activities of Europe, with limited coverage of the U.S., Canada, and Japan.

FactSet Sourced Economics
FactSet Sourced data currently includes data sourced directly from the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the U.S. Institute for Supply Management, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Department of Treasury, and the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Global Insight Data
The Global Insight product provides nearly one million macroeconomic, financial and commodity indicators for major industrial and emerging economies.

IMF International Financial Statistics
The International Monetary Fund's International Financial Statistics database provides, for most countries of the world, current and historic data on a wide range of economic and financial indicators. The database covers over 200 countries—virtually every country in the world—as well as custom area and world aggregates.

OECD Main Economic Indicators
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Main Economic Indicators provide a picture of recent global economic developments. The database includes coverage of individual OECD member countries, as well as data on several non-member countries and geographically- and economically-defined regions of the world.

OECD Economic Outlook
The OECD Economic Outlook database contains data on expenditures, foreign trade, output, employment, interest rates, exchange rates, balance of payments, outlays and revenues of governments and households, and government debt for the OECD economies. For the non-OECD regions, the database provides foreign trade and current account series information.

U.K. Office for National Statistics (ONS)
The ONS database is a comprehensive macroeconomic database covering the economic, industrial and financial activities of the United Kingdom. The ONS is the statistics arm of the UK government, and they distribute data drawn from a variety of sources, including other government departments and the Bank of England.

U.S. Business Cycle Indicators (The Conference Board)
The BCI database contains comprehensive, up-to-date U.S. Business Cycle Indicators as published by The Conference Board, a business-backed research organization. Series include the widely followed leading, lagging and coincident indicators of the U.S. economy, as well as the component series of these indicators.

U.S. Consumer Confidence Survey
The Consumer Confidence Survey is a monthly measure of the public's confidence in the health of the U.S. economy, as published by The Conference Board, a business-backed research organization. The survey measures overall consumer confidence, an index of the present situation, and an index of expectations; these indices are calculated for the entire United States, as well as across nine U.S. geographic regions.

The wide data coverage available in FactSet Economics gives users broader access to many of the online reports available in the Economic Analysis Reports tab. With FactSet Economics, data from various databases can be combined to create customized reports. For example, a detailed report on the Japanese economy could include quarterly GDP data from DRI International, daily financial market data from DRI Money Markets and Fixed Income, population data from the IMF, and aggregate OECD data from the OECD MEI database.
