Open economic data
for everyone.
economy.tools is a free dashboard tracking 110 economic indicators across 10 categories for the Canadian and American economies. Every number comes directly from official statistical agencies. No editorializing, no spin.
Data is public
Economic data is published by government agencies and international organizations. It belongs to everyone. But accessing it shouldn't require a Bloomberg terminal or a statistics degree.
But scattered everywhere
Most free sources scatter indicators across dozens of websites, each with different interfaces, update schedules, and definitions. Comparing Canada to the US means opening multiple tabs and hoping the methodologies are compatible.
economy.tools pulls everything into one place.
Cross-country comparable data from the OECD, supplemented with country-specific sources where needed. Full provenance tracking so you always know where a number came from and when it was last updated.
Official sources only
Every observation traces back to a government statistical agency or international organization. No scraped estimates or third-party models.
Free and open
No paywall, no sign-up, no premium tier. Economic literacy shouldn't have a price tag.
No editorial bias
The dashboard presents data as-is. Directionality indicators follow standard economic convention, not political preference.
Privacy-first
No tracking beyond basic analytics. No user accounts, no data collection, no ads.

I build tools that give people access to information that used to require expensive software or specialized knowledge. economy.tools is part of a broader suite of free, privacy-first applications — each built on the same principle that powerful tools should be available to everyone.
I'm the president of the Canadian Freedom Institute, a charity focused on free market education. I believe that informed citizens make better decisions — and that starts with having access to the same data that policymakers and economists use.
economy.tools is an informational resource. It is not financial, investment, or policy advice. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, data may contain errors or lag behind source updates. Always verify critical figures against primary sources. This project has no affiliation with any government agency or statistical organization.
