SOTW · DATA DOWNLOAD

283 World Bank indicators and an IMF forecast archive, ready to download.

Get 283 reviewed World Bank indicators, cleaned and labeled in one spreadsheet. The file holds 47,000+ latest readings across the countries and territories we cover; coverage varies by indicator. It opens in Excel or Google Sheets and comes with source terms, attribution and a data dictionary.

The same subscription includes the Forecast Revision Database: the figures that 35 IMF World Economic Outlook releases, from April 2008 to April 2026, gave for each target year. Use it to see how the IMF's figure for a year moved from one release to the next. Some releases are missing, and the file is our stored copy of the published figures, not the IMF's original files.

Forecast Revision Database · IMF World Economic Outlook, 35 stored releases
Forecast Revision Database
1.28M+ numeric rows, about 66 MB. Stored readings from 35 IMF World Economic Outlook releases, April 2008 to April 2026, for 197 countries and regions and 6 indicators. Some releases and values are missing, and stored rows can be revised. Too many rows for one Excel sheet, so use pandas, R, DuckDB or a database.
Forecast dictionary and coverage
Column definitions, unit codes and the exact row count for each stored release. Its generation ID matches the panel download it describes.
IMF source terms
The IMF attribution and Section VIII conditions that apply when you republish or resell the panel.

Just browsing? You can download any single ranking table for free from any rankings page, no account needed. Data Pro delivers all 283 reviewed World Bank indicators at once: 47,000+ latest country readings, cleaned, sourced and packaged for analysis. Coverage varies by indicator and provider terms still apply.

What the forecast panel is for. Each row is a stored reading for one IMF release and one target year. The horizon column is the target year minus the release year. It does not establish whether a reading is an observation, estimate or forecast. Use the panel to compare how stored estimates changed between releases; judging forecast accuracy also needs confirmation of which readings are observations and a series of final outcomes. Where a country has at least two stored releases with figures, its current-year revisions are free to read on its country forecast page; the download holds the full panel for all six subjects. IMF data is available free of charge from the IMF, and the included source terms explain what applies if you republish it.

Need full history or a live feed? 20+ years of history per indicator is available through the API, and large or custom deliveries are available. Email us.

High-frequency layer (free bulk download): daily yield curves and reference rates, central bank policy rates, monthly CPI, unemployment, industrial production, electricity, and shipping activity are exportable as one CSV from /api/v1/series/bulk (add ?since=YYYY-MM-DD for increments). Each row carries its source licence; the catalog with per-series terms is at /api/v1/series.

Open data: the high-frequency series whose source licences are open are also packaged on their own, free, as one CSV with a data package file, and our own work on them is released under CC BY 4.0. See the open data page.

Notes for the data dictionary

Gaps. A missing cell in the forecast panel can mean the IMF did not publish that figure or that our archive did not capture it; the panel does not say which. Empty values are left out of the numeric download and counted separately, and real zeros stay zero.

Units.Values and unit codes are exported as published, without rescaling. Nominal GDP follows the IMF's usual convention of billions of US dollars; the archive did not keep each release's own scale note, so the unit code alone does not confirm the scale.

Country codes. The country_iso3column keeps the IMF's own codes. Two of them are not ISO codes: UVK (Kosovo) and WBG (West Bank and Gaza). Those two and TWN (Taiwan) have no row in our country reference file, so they will not match a join on it. Keep the forecast dictionary with the download.

The bundle includes only the World Bank indicators that passed the current per-indicator rights review. Underlying data remains subject to each provider's terms; review the included source notice for your intended use. Already subscribed and need to cancel or update billing?
