Global OECD CLI Diffusion Index YoY vs MoM

The Global OECD Composite Leading Indicators (CLI) Diffusion Index is used to gauge the health and directional momentum of the global economy and anticipate changes in economic conditions. It usually leads turning points in the economy by 6 - 9 months.

How to read: Above 50% signals economic expansion across the included countries. Below 50% signals economic contraction.

The diffusion index component specifically shows the proportion of countries with positive economic growth signals compared to those with negative or neutral signals.

The OECD CLI aggregates data from several leading economic indicators including order books, building permits, and consumer and business sentiment. It tracks the economic momentum and turning points in the business cycle across 38 OECD member countries and several other Non-OECD member countries.
