Key Indicators in Policy, AI, and Sectoral Insights

New additions include the Kansas City Fed’s new Policy Rate Uncertainty (KC PRU) indicator for tracking rate expectations and the Stanford AI Index, highlighting AI investment trends across major economies. Other additions cover Australia’s household spending, Belarus’s CPI breakdown, and Vietnam’s transport metrics, offering fresh insights into global economic trends across policy, labor, trade, and finance.‍

Highlights

United States

Researchers from the Kansas City Federal Reserve recently built a measure of policy rate uncertainty. The “KC PRU” is a daily market-based indicator tracking investors’ expectations of how the policy rate will evolve one year in the future.

World

We’ve recently integrated the annual AI Index Report compiled by the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence.

The chart below compares AI private investments in three large economies: the United States, China, and the EU-28. The United States are leading this sector with a significant margin: the investment gap between them and China or the EU-28 has more than doubled since 2021.

The 2nd pane, focusing on generative AI private investments, displays an even stronger message: the United States dominate this industry by far, with leading companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Cohere.
