Daily checks of official release calendars, automated and manual collection, harmonization and vintage tracking
A single, documented source of macroeconomic time series for all 54 African countries, built for analysts who are tired of reconciling national releases by hand.
Series are collected from national statistics offices and central banks as they are released. Where a national source is missing or more than two quarters late, we fill the gap with IMF or World Bank data and flag the row as a secondary source. Rebased series keep the original national figures alongside, and every transformation is described in the series notes. Revisions are stored as new vintages rather than overwriting old values, which makes the database suitable for backtesting. Coverage is uneven: monthly inflation is available for nearly every country, while quarterly GDP is published by fewer than half.
