EM Premium

National statistics often fail to capture the substantial differences in economic performance, industrial activity and consumer behavior that exist across regions, cities and sectors within emerging markets. EM Premium addresses this challenge by combining deep macroeconomic, sectoral and subnational datasets across the world's largest emerging economies into a single, standardized research platform.

The dataset brings together five premium databases covering China, India, Brazil, Russia and ASEAN, delivering more than 11 million time series across 14 major emerging-market economies. Data is sourced from national and local statistical agencies, central banks, government ministries, industry associations and specialist research providers, then standardized for consistent analysis across markets.

With coverage extending to provinces, states, districts, municipalities, cities and industries, EM Premium enables users to move beyond headline economic indicators and analyze the regional and sectoral drivers shaping economic growth, consumption, investment, trade and industrial development. The result is a powerful resource for economic research, forecasting, investment analysis and market assessment across emerging markets.
