Finding economic data on Passport

For macroeconomic data:

1. Click on the ‘Economies’ option on the Passport top menu bar.

2. Then click on ‘Economy, Finance and Trade’.

3. In the ‘Explore Categories’ menu (highlighted below) select ‘Economies’ from the dropdown list and click on ‘GO’. This will take you to the Euromonitor ‘category tree’ where you can  either search for or browse to the data you require.

4. Within the Category Tree, you can drill down within data categories for more specific datasets. Click on the ‘+’ icon next to a category to explore subcategories. (These are definitely worth exploring).  Drill down as far as you can before checking any boxes – this will ensure you get the level of data you require.

5. Select the category or categories you require using the check-boxes and click on ‘Next’ (at the bottom right) to move on to selecting your country or countries. 

6. Select your countries in a similar fashion.  You can choose from individual countries or select a pre-defined group, such as MINT, from the ‘Geographies’ dropdown menu on the right.

7. Once you have added all your countries, click on the grey/white ‘Search’ button (highlighted above – this turns white once you have made your selection) to run the search.

8. Passport displays results under three tabs. You will find data in the left-hand tab, under ‘Statistics’.

9. Click on any option to view an individual dataset – or on ‘View Full Data Set’.
