Check current country coverage
The coverage matrix lists the available countries and indicators. A country can have CPI data without labour, GDP, or trade; availability is specific to the requested indicator.
Four kinds of official release
Narwhal stores official price, labour, GDP, and merchandise-trade publications where each source is available. Cadence and historical depth vary by country and indicator.
The source remains visible. Coverage comes from agencies including the ABS, Statistics Canada, Destatis, INSEE, the ONS, Japan's national statistics agencies, DOSM, CBS, SingStat, the BLS, the BEA, and the US Census Bureau.
Latest releases and history are public
One official publication can contain several useful measures. The inflation release supports CPI and inflation operations. The labour release supports unemployment and labour-force participation. The GDP release supports GDP and GDP growth. Trade supports the balance, exports, and imports operations. Each latest-release operation has a matching historical-observations operation.
- Consumer Price Index and inflation
- Unemployment and labour-force participation
- Gross Domestic Product and GDP growth
- Merchandise trade, exports, and imports
The contract stays the same across countries
Each live country uses the same operation paths and response structure. Change the three-letter country code in the path; the operation contract stays the same. Country pages show the publisher, currency, cadence, and exact paths for that market.
Choose the operation before the country
Start with the operation coverage list, then select a country code supported by that operation. For example, a country can publish CPI without publishing labour, GDP, or merchandise trade. The country page and the operation reference show the supported combination and period format.
What is not public
Futures, company data, and general macroeconomic forecasts are not currently public. Live gold, silver, platinum, and palladium spot prices, palm oil, FX rates, yield curves, and calendar products have their own coverage and documentation.
