Economic statistics are an increasingly important tool for the changing business, especially in the current climate of reduced growth. However, often statistics are seen as a dry and abstract confusion of numbers. "Key indicators" aims to bring a new clarity by cross-referencing the different statistics compiled in different countries and then investigating how they compare. A comprehensive survey of international economic statistics across the G5 countries, "Key indicators" shows how the statistics are compiled, who collects them, how they are measured, their accuracy and how they should be interpreted. A clear layout, combined with straightforward explanations and at-a-glance guides to the more difficult statistics encourage the reader competently and logically.
