Abstract

CEIC offers macro and microeconomic data from global primary sources, particularly for emerging economies. We last reviewed the product in 2011 and it has since enhanced its data coverage and sources so we decided to revisit the product, with a particular focus on CDMNext, its platform that delivers economic and investment research to economists, analysts, investors, corporations, and universities around the world.

This review:

• Finds out how the product has changed, with a particular focus on the introduction of new datasets and databases

• Looks at its three main database offerings, including the Global Databases, the Premium Databases and World Trend Plus
  
  
• Focuses on some of the key advantages of the product
  
  
• Takes a look at its search features, in particular, the use of insights, which are datasets based on a selection of time-series
  
  
• Looks at its output options and how data can easily be downloaded in Excel, PDF, PNG or JPG
  
  
• Finds out about its competitors, such as Haver, Macrobond and The Economist Intelligence Unit (The EIU)
