China’s Economic Data Repository (CED)”
Data on the Chinese economy and EU-China economic ties is sometimes scarce and difficult to find. Furthermore, some key macroeconomic variables are defined differently, meaning estimates need to be made to work with indicators comparable with the rest of the world.
This dashboard, developed by Bruegel, addresses these shortcomings by displaying what has been deemed the most relevant macroeconomic data for China and EU-China relations.
The dashboard is divided into four sections:
- Our proprietary indicators of sentiment about the Chinese economy, featuring consumer and investor sentiment, as well as our own indicator of economic policy uncertainty;
- High-frequency data, both for macro and financial variables, such as retail sales, housing transactions and exchange rate movements;
- Low-frequency data, mainly consisting of fiscal, debt and external indicators, as well as productivity and innovation ones;
- EU-China trade and investment data.
Data (1) and (2) are updated monthly; (3) and (4) are updated quarterly. Additional sections will follow in the future.
