As with all international data sources, pay particular attention to the units of measurement. All figures are given in millions of US dollars in this publication. IMF International Financial Statistics Yearbook Gives annual data for 150-160 countries for the last 30 years on national income accounts, trade, prices. There is also a monthly edition, International Financial Statistics , which presents data for the most recent nine months, fourteen quarters, and seven years. The IFS monthly reports and yearbooks are located in the bound periodicals collections downstairs, next to the copy machine.
Current editions are in the current magazines section.
It is often useful to make a photocopy of the country pages you are interested in from the yearbook. Be careful of periods, value denominations, and base years of indices. We hope to have this information electronically soon. OECD Main Economic Indicators Covers output, prices, and trade in 24 industrialized countries. Statesman's Yearbook Ready Reference JA51.S7.
