In order to compare the three principal ‘health’ indicators of a country, the following graphs represent the following categories: 1. Economic Growth 2. Consumer Confidence Notes The graphs feature 20* countries from this document with statistics from quarters one, two, three and four of the year 2012. In response to the advice on the contents page: Data are intended to allow tracking of economic performance in specific countries. Therefore it is advisable not to compare different countries’ statistics as different indices often are used due to different national practices and available sources. All the statistics represented in the graphs use the same indices and are from the same sources. * The remaining 13 countries did not have statistics for all three categories and across all four quarters, therefore they do not, at this time, appear in the graphs. In addition, a number of countries use different indices and sources – which make them unsuitable for comparison.
