**EMERGEMA** → **Uganda** → International Trade and Balance of Payments → Diaspora Remittance by Country

Remittance statistics for Uganda were added to the **EMERGEMA** database. This data set includes inflows and outflows reported in USD in addition to the number of transactions for each. Totals plus detail for 240 countries and territories are included on this table. Monthly data are sourced from the Bank of Uganda and start in January 2025.

Chart: Remittances are a critical pillar of the Ugandan economy, representing one of its largest sources of foreign exchange. These inflows act as a social protection system for millions of Ugandans, particularly the unemployed youth and the elderly. Inflows reached 2.6 billion USD in 2025, which is equivalent to approximately 3.8% of the country's GDP. Through May 2026, YTD remittances were up 14.5% YoY – where 70-75% consistently originates from the US, UK, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Canada.

**EMERGEFM** → **Eswatini** → Production → Mineral Production

Mineral production statistics for Eswatini were added to the **EMERGEFM** database. Metrics for coal, quarried stone, iron ore and gold are available on this table. Quarterly data are sourced from the Central Bank of Eswatini and start in Q1 2003.

Chart: Despite having a relatively minor overall mining sector, Eswatini boasts a leading regional output of anthracite coal, which accounts for roughly 1% of global coal reserves. Anthracite is a highly valued grade of coal used extensively in the production of iron and steel. Eswatini mined 463k MT of anthracite coal in 2025 – down 5.9% from 2024, but up 321% since 2019. Almost all of it is exported to neighboring South Africa where it is primarily used as a specialized fuel in the metallurgical and steel industries.

**CANADA** → Prices → Freight Rail Services Price Index

The Freight Rail Services Price Index (FRSPI) has been added to the **CANADA** database. The FRSPI measures the changes in prices of shipments of commodities by the freight rail industry and is quality adjusted for service changes. Detail is available for forest products, grain & fertilizer, intermodal, metals & minerals and petroleum & chemicals. Monthly data are sourced from Statistics Canada and start in January 2018.

Chart: Global geopolitical tensions have spiked the price of diesel and since rail fuel surcharges are directly tied to diesel prices, grain shippers are seeing increases in shipping costs. Since March, the cost of moving grain in rail cars across Canada has increased by 8%. The y/y increase is even greater at 13%. Grain companies lock in sales months in advance, which leaves them exposed to freight increases that arrive after contracts are signed. These sudden hits to the margin affect the bottom line.

**EMERGELA** → Eastern Caribbean Currency Union → Public Finance and Debt → Debt

Public debt statistics for the ECCU and the eight individual member countries were added to **EMERGELA**. Tables include measures for total public sector debt, central government debt and public corporation debt with breakouts for domestic and external debt. Member countries include St. Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Grenada, St. Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, Anguilla and Montserrat. Quarterly data are sourced from the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and start in Q1 2000.

Chart: The ECCU faces an ongoing challenge. With a current public debt-to-GDP ratio of 77.4%, it remains well above its regional target of 60% by 2035. Since Q1 2020, public sector debt in the region has grown by 5.8 billion EC$ - an increase of 41%. These small island countries have common underlying limitations – a heavy reliance on global tourism that has been severely impacted by the COVID pandemic, repeated natural disasters and exposure to the economic fallout of global crises.

**EMERGEMA** → **Türkiye** → International Trade and Balance of Payments → Trade by Mode of Transport

International trade by mode of transport statistics for Turkiye were added to **EMERGEMA**. Imports and exports reported in USD are available for modes of transport such as maritime, road, rail, and air. Monthly data are sourced from the Turkish Statistical Institute and start in January 2013.

Chart: Maritime transport dominates Turkiye’s foreign trade, accounting for roughly 55% of total export and import activities, followed by road transport at about 32%. However, air transport volumes have been expanding rapidly - showing double-digit YTD year-on-year growth throughout 2025 and into 2026 - driven by the growing popularity of e-commerce and the scaling of mega-hubs like Istanbul Airport. Turkiye has become one of the air cargo transit points for Asian merchandise destined for Europe.

**UK** → Manufacturing, Trade & Services → Small Business Insights → Jobs by Industry/Sales by Industry

Data from the Xero Small Business Insights for the UK were added to the **UK** database. Year over year % changes for jobs and for sales by industry are available. Small businesses are defined as organizations with annual turnover of less than £54 million for the sales metric and less than 250 employees for the jobs metric. Monthly data are sourced from Xero via the ONS and start in January 2019.

Chart: The latest data show small business owners in the UK had a modest start to the year, with sales rising only 2.9% y/y, the smallest quarterly rise in two years. The softness in sales came from the first two months, with January sales up only 1.4% and February up only 2.4%. Sales rose 5.0% in March - the best result of the quarter - but still well below the historical average of 8.5%. Sales growth was propped up by professional services (+4.7%), healthcare (+4.6%) and manufacturing (+4.6%).

**EMERGEFM** → **Liberia** → International Trade and BOP → Trade by Country

International trade statistics by country for Liberia were added to **EMERGEFM**. Imports and exports to and from Africa, Asia & the Middle East, Europe & Oceania, and the Americas & the Caribbean including 39 individual countries are available. Annual data reported in USD are sourced from the Central Bank of Liberia and start in 2010.

Chart: Liberia exhibits a highly segmented foreign trade profile where Europe dominates export destinations, while Asia serves as the primary source for the country's imports. Europe is the destination for 82% of exports, of which 73% goes to Switzerland in the form of unwrought gold. 60% of Liberia's imports - led by machinery, petroleum, and manufactured goods - originate from Asia & the Middle East with China, India, and Turkey as the leading suppliers, accounting for 84% of imports from that region.

**CMDTY** → Spot Prices → **Brazil** Agricultural Prices → Tilapia Prices

Tilapia prices for Brazil were added to the **CMDTY** database. Pricing series reported in USD per kilograms are available for five tilapia-producing regions. Prices represent amounts paid to fish farmers. Weekly data are sourced from the Center for Advanced Studies on Applied Economics and start in August 2021.

Chart: Brazil is the 4th largest tilapia producer in the world, trailing China, Indonesia and Egypt - driving an aquaculture sector that generates over $2.5 bil in annual revenue and supports an estimated 3 million direct and indirect jobs. Shortages of juvenile fish and adverse weather conditions caused tilapia prices to hit record highs in May 2026. Since then, a sudden surge of tilapia imports from Vietnam resulting from a trade agreement is driving down prices, raising alarms for local producers.

**ENERGY** → Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO) → Global Energy Security

Global energy security statistics were added to **ENERGY**. Tables include strategic oil inventories by country and energy product flows by chokepoint. The chokepoint table includes series for crude oil, petroleum products, and LNG for major chokepoints such as the Straits of Hormuz and Malacca, and the Suez and Panama canals. Quarterly data are sourced from the Energy Information Administration and start as early as Q1 2025.

Chart: The Straits of Hormuz and Malacca are major interdependent global maritime chokepoints connected by the energy supply chain. 80-90% of the oil flowing eastward through the Strait of Malacca originates from the Strait of Hormuz, so a crisis in one strait directly impacts the other. In Q1 2026 (early into the Mideast conflict), Hormuz handled 14.6 mb/d of oil, down 29.5% QoQ. Malacca handled 20.9 mb/d in Q1, down 12.9% - affecting energy-hungry economies like China, Japan and South Korea.

**EMERGEFM** → **Liberia** → Production

Production statistics for Liberia were added to the **EMERGEFM** database. Categories include agricultural products, manufactured goods, mineral products, and services. The table includes commodities important to Liberia’s economy such as gold, iron ore, diamonds, rubber, cocoa beans, and timber. Monthly data are sourced from the Central Bank of Liberia and start as early as January 2004.

Chart: Liberia’s economy is heavily reliant on the production and export of primary raw materials. The iron ore sector is the backbone and is experiencing a massive boom with production tripling from 5.2 million MT in 2024 to 14.9 million MT in 2025 – spiking in February 2026 recording 3 million MT in that month alone. Gold production increased 79% YoY in 2021 followed by 49% and 16% increases in the subsequent years – spiking in July 2025 with a record 59 thousand ounces extracted. Expansion in the mining sector is a core catalyst for projected real GDP growth of 5.5%.

**ENERGY** → Country-Sourced Statistics → **Ecuador** → Daily Oil Production

A daily crude oil production series for Ecuador was added to the **ENERGY** database. This series, reported in barrels, provides insights into oil production in Ecuador at least two months sooner than monthly series available from other sources. The series is sourced from the Central Bank of Ecuador and starts in January 2018.

Chart: Since 2019, Ecuador's downward trend in daily oil production has been driven by the natural decline of mature fields, severe infrastructure outages, escalating hydrocarbon theft, and political and environmental mandates. From mid-2019 to the present, daily oil production has decreased by 19.2%. 2026 year-to-date production is down by approximately 2% compared to 2025. These declines are destabilizing Ecuador’s economy by shrinking government revenues, blowing out the fiscal deficit, and worsening the public debt.

**EMERGECW** → **Georgia** → Public Finance and Debt → External Public Debt

External public debt statistics for Georgia were added to **EMERGECW**. Government and national bank external debt is available in USD and Georgian Lari along with accrued interest. Government debt is further broken out by multilateral, bilateral, and bonds with detail by creditor. These monthly data are sourced from the Georgia Ministry of Finance and start as early as 2003.

Chart: Georgia's external debt has grown by 59% since 2020. Multi- and bilateral external debt increased 72.6% and 45.9%, respectively during that horizon. Debt growth was initially driven by emergency borrowing during the pandemic followed by extensive government borrowing to fund large-scale infrastructure projects such as the modernization of highways and tunnels. Despite this absolute increase, strong GDP growth has kept the relative debt-to-GDP ratio manageable and stabilized the country's sovereign credit rating which is currently BB from Fitch.

**INSECTOR** → Other Nonmetallic Mineral Products → Cement Production

Cement production data for India were added to the **INSECTOR** database – Haver’s database for detailed Indian sector statistics. Detail is available for the public and private sectors, mini cement plants, and white Portland cement operations. Monthly data are sourced from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation and start in June 2023.

Chart: India is the second largest cement producer in the world behind China, and accounts for 12.4% of global output. Production has been soaring, recording a 10.5% increase YoY in January and averaging 8% annual growth since 1995. Growth has been driven by surging urbanization, sustained government capital expenditure on mega-infrastructure projects, and the relaxation of government controls (which spurred massive private capacity expansion).

**ENERGY** → Country-Sourced Statistics → **China** → Gas Consumption

Natural gas consumption statistics for China were added to the **ENERGY** database. These monthly series complement the annual data available from the China National Bureau of Statistics (CNBS) and allow for more current consumption insights. Monthly levels, YTD series, and growth rates are included on this table. Data are sourced from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and start in September 2022.

Chart: China's natural gas consumption has skyrocketed since 2000, growing from roughly 25 billion cubic meters (bcm) to an estimated 431 bcm in 2025. This transformation has been driven by rapid economic development, massive infrastructure builds, and government initiatives to replace coal to reduce air pollution. However, consumption outpaces local extraction, making China one of the world's largest importers of both pipeline gas and LNG.

**AGRI** → **Australia** → Livestock Slaughtered

Livestock statistics for Australia were added to the **AGRI** database. Available concepts include livestock slaughtered in units, gross value of livestock slaughtered, and meat produced in MT. Detail is available by type of animal and by region. Quarterly and annual adjusted and unadjusted data are sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and start as early as 1972.

Chart: Australia’s cattle slaughter is currently at record levels, registering 2.4 million head in Q1, driven by a stark regional divide. Persistent and severe dry conditions have hit major southern producing states, particularly NSW and Victoria. Confronted with dwindling feed and water, southern producers are being forced to offload their stock resulting in slaughter levels at or near all-time highs. Conversely and despite destocking in the south, favorable seasonal conditions and solid pasture growth across Queensland in the north is keeping cattle availability high, and thus slaughter rates.
