FRED, the St. Louis Fed’s economic database, has just surpassed a new milestone, with 50,000 economic time series in its database. More than 6,000 series from Eurostat’s harmonized indices of consumer prices were added this month. The Eurostat data offers users the ability to compare inflation rates for different European countries. In addition, FRED recently added gold prices, more consumer credit data, and vehicle miles traveled data. FRED data can be accessed many ways–through search, by category, by source, by tags, via a data release calendar, and more.” [Katrina Stierholz, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis]
