World Economic Outlook Database - Changes to the Database

World Economic Outlook Database - Changes to the Database

This is a link to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).  Since the economies of the world are so dependent on each other, it is prudent to keep abreast of IMF news in order to make wise investments. Economic statistics matter tremendously when it comes to stock market direction.  For example, during the 2008-2009 economic crisis, world exports declined dramatically.  The Baltic Dry Index as well as the IMF data would have shown the export crisis.  This would have been one of several reasons to be in cash or government bonds during the stock market downturn.
