ISI Expands CEIC Economic Intelligence on Snowflake Marketplace to Streamline Quantitative Workflows

ISI Markets (ISI) has announced a significant expansion of its CEIC data offering on Snowflake Marketplace, enabling quantitative researchers and data scientists with direct, native access to an expanded universe of CEIC economic intelligence within the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.

By making a larger portion of its 22 million+ time series available natively through Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, ISI Markets enables users to integrate macro and sector indicators across more than 200 economies directly into their existing research environments.

This expansion reduces the technical barriers to accessing complex economic data by effectively removing the need for data ingestion and manual ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes. Traditionally, sourcing granular subnational data from emerging markets required significant engineering resources to build and maintain custom pipelines.

“Our priority is to reduce the time our clients spend on data preparation so they can focus on generating insights,” said Steve Pulley, CEO at ISI Markets. “By delivering CEIC’s depth and high-frequency intelligence natively within Snowflake, we are providing a more efficient path for quantitative teams to integrate emerging market data into their models. This expansion ensures that researchers have the most granular and timely data available exactly where they need it.”

Through Snowflake Marketplace, users can now access:

• Subnational Depth: Detailed data from CEIC’s Premium databases covering China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and ASEAN.
• Machine-Ready Formats: Data structured for immediate use in model development, forecasting, and backtesting.
• Direct Integration: The ability to join CEIC’s global macro data with a firm’s proprietary internal datasets without moving or transforming data.
• Standardized Intelligence for the ASEAN Region

A central component of this release is the inclusion of the CEIC ASEAN Premium database, which standardizes fragmented regional indicators from over 400 local and international sources into a single, comparable format.

For the market, this provides a unified view of more than 20 industries and high-frequency indicators ranging from daily to monthly intervals. It includes comprehensive trade metrics such as HS2-HS8 classifications, and country-by-commodity trade flows, allowing for more granular analysis of regional competitiveness and policy shifts.

To meet the requirements of modern quantitative research, the expanded offering includes:

• High-Frequency Series: Over 700,000 daily and weekly series covering consumption, mobility, and logistics.
• Point-in-Time History: Fully revision-tracked data, allowing researchers to perform backtests based on the exact information available at a specific historical date to avoid look-ahead bias.
• Economic Nowcasts: Indicators designed to identify economic inflection points before official government releases.

The integration of CEIC data into Snowflake’s platform is designed to improve research throughput. By providing a single source for both traditional macro indicators and alternative high-frequency data, firms can monitor risk and detect economic turning points with greater operational efficiency. This approach reduces the complexity of data management and allows for faster iteration cycles in model development.
