Public sector and economic data

Public sector and economic data covers official statistics and government records: macroeconomic indicators, public procurement, census results, labor markets and education. Economists, investors, strategy teams, public bodies, think tanks, researchers and companies that sell to government use it to forecast, size markets, find tenders and inform policy.

What each sub-category covers

• Economic indicators: GDP, inflation, employment, trade, interest rates and other macro time series.
• Government tenders and contracts: procurement notices, awards, buyers and suppliers.
• Census data: official population and household statistics by area.
• Labor market data: wages, occupations, skills and employment trends.
• Education data: schools, universities, enrollment and outcomes.

How to choose

Much of this data is published free by governments, so the value of a paid dataset lies in collection, harmonization, history, timeliness and delivery. Choose economic indicator products for consistent cross-country series, tender data for sales pipelines, census and labor data for market sizing and location analysis, and education data for edtech and policy work.

Before you buy

• Check the original source and licence of each series.
• Ask how revisions and vintages are stored.
• Confirm definitions and how they are harmonized across countries.
• Check update latency after official releases.
• Review whether you may redistribute derived data, since many official licences require attribution.
