Comparing macroeconomies — sound familiar?

01Pulling each country’s series from World Bank and IMF by hand?
02Comparing many countries on one scale is a chore?
03Cleaning and aligning raw data before you can analyze?
04Need a separate tool just to project a trend?

Countries pre-connected — compare and project in seconds.

02 · MACRO DOMAINS

Seven domains, one workbench.

Growth, inflation, labor, fiscal, trade, investment, structural.

Every economy is organized into the same set of macro domains, so you can move from GDP growth to inflation to the fiscal balance without changing tools. Each domain draws on World Bank and IMF series.

03 · COUNTRY PROFILE

Every key number, at a glance.

KPI cards + charts in one country view.

Open any country to see the most important numbers front and center — growth, inflation, fiscal balance, and more — followed by time-series charts with 5y / 10y / 20y window controls.

04 · COMPARE & RANK

Side-by-side comparison and rankings.

Compare multiple economies on any indicator.

Select multiple countries and plot them together on one chart, or rank the full set by any indicator. Spot divergence, convergence, and structural breaks across GDP, inflation, trade, debt, and more.

05 · OLS PROJECTION

Project the trend forward.

Simple OLS projections with a fitted trend line.

Fit a simple OLS trend to any indicator and extend it forward a few years. View the fitted line, slope, and R² alongside the historical series — a transparent baseline rather than a black-box forecast.
