The World Economic Outlook (WEO) database contains selected
macroeconomic data series from the statistical appendix of the
World Economic Outlook report, which presents the IMF staff's
analysis and projections of economic developments at the global level, in
major country groups and in many individual countries. The WEO is
released in April and September/October each year.
Use this database to find data on national accounts, inflation,
unemployment rates, balance of payments, fiscal indicators, trade for
countries and country groups (aggregates), and
commodity prices whose data are reported by the IMF.
Data are available from 1980 to the present, and projections are
given for the next two years. Additionally, medium-term projections
are available for selected indicators. For some countries, data are
incomplete or unavailable for certain years.
The World Economic Outlook (WEO) database is now available in SDMX format from our Entire Dataset page. For more information about SDMX, please visit SDMX.org
