This catalog preserves stored source periods and status codes, but complete publisher flags, original release times and country-specific methods have not all been reviewed. These are current stored readings and may be revised.

Quarterly GDP can use quarter-on-quarter, year-on-year or annualized growth rates. Verify the selected country’s source method before comparing figures; this viewer applies no annualization or growth conversion.

Explore one geography

Choose a geography from the latest readings to see its chart and stored history. Dates filter the start of each reference period.

Source and interpretation

Source: OECD.

Licence: OECD Data Terms. Reuse remains subject to this source’s terms.

The period and stored status columns reproduce this catalog’s source fields. An empty status means no stored flag, not a guarantee that the publisher supplied none. U-marked numeric readings are withheld; B-marked readings interrupt chart continuity. Other codes require the source’s own guidance. This viewer does not establish original release dates, complete revision history or comparable national methods.
