The OECD Factbook is the most comprehensive OECD publication on statistics. The Factbook contains a wide set of internationally comparable indicators that allows users to assess and compare countries’ performance over time in a wide range of areas that are at the heart of citizens’ and policy-makers’ concerns.
Written in a non-technical language, the OECD Factbook provides more than 100 indicators for all 34 OECD member countries and, when available and considered internationally comparable, for Brazil, India, Indonesia, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation and South Africa.
Data presented in the OECD Factbook are also available online through OECD.StatExtracts, the OECD platform for data dissemination, and as of June 2014 the new OECD data portal. The OECD Factbook, in its various formats, thus represents a first-stop, easy tool for all those who are looking for reliable, trustworthy and internationally comparable statistics.
