Economic Data

Economic Indicators

The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) is a monthly index designed to better gauge
overall
economic activity and inflationary pressure.

The Chicago Fed’s National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) provides a comprehensive
weekly update
on U.S. financial conditions in money markets, debt and equity markets, and the
traditional and
“shadow” banking systems. Because U.S. economic and financial conditions
tend to be highly
correlated, we also present an alternative index, the adjusted NFCI (ANFCI). This index
isolates a
component of financial conditions uncorrelated with economic conditions to provide an
update on
financial conditions relative to economic conditions.

The Chicago Fed Advance Retail Trade Summary (CARTS) tracks the U.S. Census Bureau's Monthly
Retail Trade
Survey (MRTS) using a mixed-frequency dynamic factor model to combine high-frequency
time series from
five private companies (Consumer Edge, Facteus, Morning Consult, Safegraph, and Womply)
as well as two
federal agencies (the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the U.S. Census
Bureau).

The Chicago Fed Survey of Economic Conditions (CFSEC) is a survey of organizations located in
the
Seventh Federal Reserve District.

Chicago Fed Income-Based Economic Index (IBEX)

The Chicago Fed IBEX® is a series of economic statistics that measure the economic
experience of
particular income and demographic groups. The IBEX groups include the elderly and the
working poor, as
well as groupings by education, income quartile and race.

The IBEX 12
Month Inflation Rates provide a monthly chain-weighted inflation measure for
more than 30
socioeconomic and demographic groups, as well as the overall urban population. The
inflation rates
are updated annually in the first quarter of each year when new data for expenditures
are available.

The IBEX Consumer Sentiment (IBEX-CS) provides a
monthly and
quarterly index of consumer sentiment for 46 groups and the overall urban
population.

This chart shows the average annual change in farmland values for the Seventh District.
Farmland values
account for a significant part of farm sector asset values and equity. As such, the
movement in farmland
values is an important indicator of agriculture's economic health.

The Michigan Retail Index is a monthly broad-based gauge of key retail activity in Michigan.
A new index
is released by the Michigan Retailers Association (MRA) on the fourth Wednesday of each
month. The index
is based on a monthly survey of MRA members. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago assists
in collecting,
compiling and interpreting the survey data.

More about the Release

Every month, a survey press release with the most current numbers, analysis and forecast
for the
next quarter is released in the last week of the month.

Here are the latest retail conditions as reported by Michigan retailers. Retailers
report on changes in sales performance, inventory, promotional intensity, employment and
prices.
