G20 TIGER Indices, Malaysian Inflation, and Key Australian Business Indicators

Key highlights include the release of G20 TIGER Composite Indices, offering insights into the global economic cycle, a detailed breakdown of Malaysia’s inflation data, and new business indicators from Australia.

Highlights

World

We’ve recently added the TIGER Composite indices from the Brookings Institute. TIGER stands for Tracking Indices for the Global Economic Recovery.

The dataset covers most of the G20 economies, and uses PCA as a method to combine multiple economic and financial variables together as one index. A detailed methodology can be found here.

In the chart below we calculated the median and several percentile bands for all individual countries available. We then displayed the United States TIGER index together with a few additional countries: China, United Kingdom, and Germany.

We can see a different trajectory path between the United States and the three other economies: the U.S. TIGER index sits at the top of the 90% percentile, while the indices for Germany, China, and the U.K. are in the lowest 25th percentile, Germany being even in the lowest 10th percentile.

Malaysia

Regional CPI breakdowns are now available at a subnational level for Malaysia. In the bar chart below, we displayed the headline CPI year-on-year growth rate for each Malaysian state and federal territory for the past 8 months.

Using the conditional formatting “rule” setting, we can see that Pahang, Sarawak, Selangor and Penang are the four Malaysian states having the highest inflation rate.
