The main elements used in the comparison of national practices for key indicators published in MEI covered in this publication are: • existing international statistical guidelines and recommendations for short-term economic indicators; • target definitions derived from those international standards; • summaries of statistical methodological information outlining current national practices in individual countries; • the list of MEI target short-term economic indicators (i.e. what the OECD would like to collect for each country); and • the MEI data inventory that outlines what the OECD actually collects and disseminates.
