Each page brings together the figures a reader needs to place an economy in the trade story: prices, growth, jobs, the currency, goods trade with the United States, cargo through its ports, and the IMF’s latest projections, labelled as the IMF’s. Every number names the publisher it comes from and the period it covers, and where a second publisher reports the same figure the two are compared.
