DATA BRIEF


GLOBAL RESERVES DECREASE SLIGHTLY AS US DOLLAR LOSES SOME GROUND

The latest IMF’s Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves
(COFER) survey results show that total foreign exchange reserves declined
slightly to 12.35 trillion USD in 2024Q2 from 12.38 trillion USD in 2024Q1,
largely reflecting lower US-dollar-denominated holdings.

WORLD ECONOMIC OUTLOOK (WEO)

The World Economic Outlook (WEO) database contains selected macroeconomic data
series from the statistical appendix of the World Economic Outlook report, which
presents the IMF staff's analysis and projections of economic developments at
the global level, in major country groups and in many individual countries. The
WEO is released in April and October each year. Use this database to find data
on national accounts, gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, unemployment
rates, balance of payments, fiscal indicators, trade for countries and country
groups (aggregates), and commodity prices whose data are reported by the IMF.
Data are available from 1980 to the present, and projections are given for the
next two years. Additionally, medium-term projections are available for selected
indicators. For some countries, data are incomplete or unavailable for certain
years.

CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI)

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) dataset includes national consumer price indexes
by economy and their associated weights and contributions to national annual
inflation. The national CPI, referred to as consumer price index (CPI) in the
dataset, is the official headline inflation for a given economy. The CPI dataset
also includes Harmonized Indices of Consumer Prices (HICPS) for those economies
in the European Union. The HICP is not the official inflation rate for an
economy, it is used as an input into measuring regional inflation for the
European Union and Euro Zone and its primary use is an input into Euro Zone
monetary policy decisions.  Consumer price indexes measure the relative changes
over time in the prices of goods and services purchased by households, which
households use directly, or indirectly, to satisfy their own needs and wants.
CPIs are widely used to index wages, salaries, pensions, and social security
benefits.  CPIs are also used to index other payments, such as interest payments
or rents, or the prices of bonds.  CPIs are also commonly used as a proxy for
the general rate of inflation, even though they measure only consumer
inflation.  They are used by governments or central banks to set inflation
targets for purposes of monetary policy.  The price data collected for CPI
purposes can also be used to compile other indices, such as the price indices
used to deflate household consumption expenditure in the national accounts, or
to support the compilation of purchasing power parities used to compare real
levels of consumption in different countries.  The statistics are sourced from
national authorities (central banks, national statistical institutes, ministries
of finance) and collected using the IMF's Consumer Price Index Report Form.
Where possible, the IMF has entered into data sharing agreements with
international organizations who collect the same or similar statistics from
national authorities.  In these cases, the IMF sources the statistics from the
international organization to reduce the reporting burden on countries.

FISCAL MONITOR (FM)

The Fiscal Monitor surveys and analyzes the latest public finance developments.
It updates fiscal implications of the crisis and medium-term fiscal projections,
and assesses policies to put public finances on a sustainable footing.

Country-specific data and projections for key fiscal variables are based on the
April 2024 World Economic Outlook database, unless indicated otherwise, and
compiled by the IMF staff. Historical data and projections are based on the
information gathered by IMF country desk officers in the context of their
missions and through their ongoing analysis of the evolving situation in each
country. They are updated on a continual basis as more information becomes
available. Structural breaks in data may be adjusted to produce smooth series
through splicing and other techniques. IMF staff estimates serve as proxies when
complete information is unavailable. As a result, Fiscal Monitor data can differ
from official data in other sources, including the IMF’s International Financial
Statistics.

The country classification in the Fiscal Monitor divides the world into three
major groups: 41 advanced economies, 96 emerging market and middle-income
economies, and 58 low-income developing countries. Country groupings have been
revised to broaden country coverage. The seven largest advanced economies in
terms of GDP (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the
United States) constitute the subgroup of major advanced economies, often
referred to as the Group of Seven (G7). The members of the euro area are also
distinguished as a subgroup. Composite data shown in the tables for the euro
area cover the current members for all years, even though the membership has
increased over time. The low-income developing countries are countries that were
designated Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust (PRGT)–eligible in the 2013
PRGT-eligible review and had a level of per capita gross national income with
less than the PRGT income graduation threshold for non-small states—that is,
twice the International Development Association operational threshold, or $2,390
in 2011, as measured by the World Bank’s Atlas method, Zimbabwe is included in
the group. The emerging market and middle-income economies include all those
that are not classified as advanced economies or LIDCs. See “Economy Groupings”
for more details.

All fiscal data refer to the general government where available and to calendar
years, except for Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bhutan, Botswana, Dominica,
Egypt, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Fiji, Haiti, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region,
India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jamaica, Lesotho, Malawi, the Marshall
Islands, Mauritius, Micronesia, Myanmar, Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, Pakistan, Palau,
Puerto Rico, Rwanda, St. Lucia, Samoa, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, and Trinidad
and Tobago, for which they refer to the fiscal year.

Composite data for country groups are weighted averages of individual-country
data, unless otherwise specified. Data are weighted by annual nominal GDP
converted to U.S. dollars at average market exchange rates as a share of the
group GDP.

For most countries, fiscal data follow the IMF’s Government Finance Statistics
Manual 2014. The overall fiscal balance refers to net lending (+)/borrowing (–)
of the general government. In some cases, however, the overall balance refers to
total revenue and grants minus total expenditure and net lending.
