Economic growth is central to economic development. When national income grows, real people benefit. While there is no known formula for stimulating economic growth, data can help policy-makers better understand their countries' economic situations and guide any work toward improvement. Data here covers measures of economic growth, such as gross domestic product (GDP) and gross national income (GNI). It also includes indicators representing factors known to be relevant to economic growth, such as capital stock, employment, investment, savings, consumption, government spending, imports, and exports.

The Economic Indictor Service (EIS) aims to deliver professional economic content to financial institutions on both the buy and sell side service providers. This service covers 136 countries and 43,000 recurring indicators, which are updated on a real-time basis.

We are currently adding additional indicators/countries from Africa as well as expanding our coverage of Indicators in G20. In addition, it provided data of over 1,700 non-recurring indicators in 2020.

The EIS service includes historic data on recurring economic indicators. Recurring events include GDP data, unemployment releases, PMI numbers etc. Information on economic indicators, includes details of issuing agency and historical data series is made available depending on its availability.

The two components available for the Economic Calendar are the following:

1. Live Calendar - updated 24/5 immediately after the data is released and with limited history for recurring indicators.

2. Historical Database - Database of all recurring indicators (with complete history) and non-recurring indicators

Live Calendar can be embedded on client's website using iFrame or API. Historical Database can be made available via API or FTP.

Additional Features of the Economic Indicator Service - Delivery of unique newsfeed by using algorithms and analysts - Feed to client’s website with customized branding - Automatic feed to social media accounts, such as: Twitter and Facebook - Desktop ticker updates - Mobile App integration - Bespoke dashboards for macro-economic & industry reports And most importantly, clients can customize filters to get the specific economic indicators (e.g. for specific countries) they need.

A good retail broker can gain advantage by minimizing the time lag in real time information flow to retail investors vis-à-vis institutional investors. One way to achieve this is by providing access to clients with timely and accurate access to all major economic and other market moving announcements / data. - In order to minimize this disadvantage, many broker dealers provide economic calendar and news flows on their trading platforms. - We have developed two distinct products – Economic Calendar and Economic News to meet this requirement.

Abstract

Financial inclusion is critical in reducing poverty and achieving inclusive economic growth. When people can participate in the financial system, they are better able to start and expand businesses, invest in their children’s education, and absorb financial shocks. Yet prior to 2011, little was known about the extent of financial inclusion and the degree to which such groups as the poor, women, and rural residents were excluded from formal financial systems.

By collecting detailed indicators about how adults around the world manage their day-to-day finances, the Global Findex allows policy makers, researchers, businesses, and development practitioners to track how the use of financial services has changed over time. The database can also be used to identify gaps in access to the formal financial system and design policies to expand financial inclusion.

Sampling procedure

The indicators in the 2017 Global Findex database are drawn from survey data covering almost 150,000 people in 144 economies-representing more than 97 percent of the world’s population (see table A.1 of the Global Findex Database 2017 Report for a list of the economies included). The survey was carried out over the 2017 calendar year by Gallup, Inc., as part of its Gallup World Poll, which since 2005 has annually conducted surveys of approximately 1,000 people in each of more than 160 economies and in over 150 languages, using randomly selected, nationally representative samples. The target population is the entire civilian, noninstitutionalized population age 15 and above. Interview procedure Surveys are conducted face to face in economies where telephone coverage represents less than 80 percent of the population or where this is the customary methodology. In most economies the fieldwork is completed in two to four weeks.

In economies where face-to-face surveys are conducted, the first stage of sampling is the identification of primary sampling units. These units are stratified by population size, geography, or both, and clustering is achieved through one or more stages of sampling. Where population information is available, sample selection is based on probabilities proportional to population size; otherwise, simple random sampling is used. Random route procedures are used to select sampled households. Unless an outright refusal occurs, interviewers make up to three attempts to survey the sampled household. To increase the probability of contact and completion, attempts are made at different times of the day and, where possible, on different days. If an interview cannot be obtained at the initial sampled household, a simple substitution method is used.

Respondents are randomly selected within the selected households. Each eligible household member is listed and the handheld survey device randomly selects the household member to be interviewed. For paper surveys, the Kish grid method is used to select the respondent. In economies where cultural restrictions dictate gender matching, respondents are randomly selected from among all eligible adults of the interviewer’s gender.

In economies where telephone interviewing is employed, random digit dialing or a nationally representative list of phone numbers is used. In most economies where cell phone penetration is high, a dual sampling frame is used. Random selection of respondents is achieved by using either the latest birthday or household enumeration method. At least three attempts are made to reach a person in each household, spread over different days and times of day.

The sample size was 1000.

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

The questionnaire was designed by the World Bank, in conjunction with a Technical Advisory Board composed of leading academics, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of financial inclusion. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Gallup Inc. also provided valuable input. The questionnaire was piloted in multiple countries, using focus groups, cognitive interviews, and field testing. The questionnaire is available in more than 140 languages upon request.

Questions on cash on delivery, saving using an informal savings club or person outside the family, domestic remittances, and agricultural payments are only asked in developing economies and few other selected countries. The question on mobile money accounts was only asked in economies that were part of the Mobile Money for the Unbanked (MMU) database of the GSMA at the time the interviews were being held.
