    Here is a list of publicly accessible tools which we are currently developing:

    Inflation:

    The IHS Preismonitor analyses inflation with a focus on Austrian data: inflation.ihs.ac.at. CPI data according to the national definition as well as harmonised data are shown. The tool also provides producer and wholesale price developments.

    MyInflationTool compares price developments across Europe: myinflationtool.com

    Economic Activity:

    The IHS high-frequency monitor provides data on the economic activity of Austria along a selection of very recent time series: monitor.ihs.ac.at
