It is essential in business and many professions today to have a thorough understanding of economic information. What exactly are the implications of the statistics and numbers constantly mentioned in business reports and in the media?

Written for the non-specialist, this highly accessible guide provides the keys to understanding all the major and many lesser economic indicators: what they are, the areas they cover, their reliability, and how and why to interpret them.

It contains chapters covering:

• GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
• GNP (Gross National Product) and GNI (Gross National Income)
• (GNP) Growth
• Trends and cycles
• Population and employment
• unemployment
• Government
• Consumers
• Investment and savings
• Industry and commerce
• Balance of payments
• Exchange rates
• Money and financial markets

Now in its fifth edition, The Economist Guide to Economic Indicators clearly explains the underlying realities of today's world. Fully updated, revised, it is an invaluable reference.
