**EMERGEPR** → **Fiji** → Public Finance and Debt → Government Gross Financing

Government gross financing statistics for Fiji were added to the **EMERGEPR** database. The table includes a breakout by local and foreign financing with some detail for each. These data reported in millions of Fijian dollars are sourced from the Reserve Bank of Fiji. Annual data start in 1992 while monthly data start in January 2025.

Chart: Fiji’s government gross financing reached FJD 873 million in Jan–Aug 2026, up from FJD 358 million a year earlier and already above the FJD 802 million raised in all of 2025. The composition has shifted. Government financing was almost entirely local in 2025, with foreign sources supplying only about FJD 30 million (under 4%) for the whole year. Foreign financing has been FJD 394 million so far in 2026, or 45% of the total – concentrated in June and July. This coincides with the approval of World Bank and AIIB (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank) budget-support operations.

**CANADA** → Financial → OSFI Leverage Requirements Return

The Leverage Requirements Return (LRR) statistics were added to **CANADA**. The LRR is a regulatory filing that Canadian deposit-taking institutions submit reporting leverage ratios along with the details of how it was calculated. Exposures and Tier 1 capital measures for all banks, domestic banks and foreign bank subsidiaries are available. Quarterly data are sourced from the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions and start in Q1 2018.

Chart: Canadian banks’ balance sheets have grown by 80% since 2018, with exposures rising from 5.8 trillion CAD to 10.4 trillion CAD. Tier 1 capital has kept pace, leaving the system-wide leverage ratio at 4.4%, almost unchanged from 2018. However, the path has not been smooth. The ratio climbed to nearly 5% by late 2021, then stepped down in 2022 and again in 2023. Looking at the detail, domestic banks account for virtually all of the system (99.6%), so their ratio mirrors the aggregate. Foreign bank subsidiaries have a leverage ratio near 12%, but hold less than half a percent of exposures.

**INTDAILY/INTWKLY** → Asia and Australasia → **Australia** → Insolvency Statistics

Insolvency statistics for Australia were added to the **INTDAILY** and **INTWKLY** databases. Series 1 and series 2 data by appointment type are available on this table. Simply put, series 1 differs from series 2 in the way insolvencies are counted, where series 2 may include some double-counting. Daily data are sourced from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and start in July 2021.

Chart: Australian insolvency appointments have stopped climbing but remain historically elevated. Over the past year, appointments are basically flat. The latest data are distorted by a single event – the collapse of Bathla Group. On August 25, 587 voluntary administrations (VA) were recorded, lifting August to a record 1,808 appointments. Bathla Group entered VA with debts reported at A$3.4 billion across 542 individual companies, one of the largest construction insolvencies in Australian history. This collapse will have national implications for some time to come, affecting subcontractors, trade creditors, private credit lenders, and off-the-plan buyers across Australia.

**ENERGY** → Petroleum → Petroleum Product Prices → **Chile** → Reference and Parity Fuel Prices

Fuel pricing statistics for Chile were added to the **ENERGY** and **INTWKLY** databases. Parity prices, plus high, intermediate and low reference prices for gasoline, diesel, kerosene and LPG are available on the table. Weekly prices per cubic meter are sourced from the Comision Nacional de Energia and start as early as January 1991, but most start in July 2012.

Chart: Chile’s diesel parity price has been running above the reference band for 12 consecutive weeks. Parity first breached the upper reference price in late July and has since climbed roughly 54% from its mid-July low to about 1.29 million CLP/CM in mid-October. The upper band has been adjusted higher over the same period, but only by about 29%, so the gap has widened from roughly 7% in early August to nearly 20% today. Parity remains far from the band, implying that Chile’s stabilization mechanism is absorbing a sizeable and growing share of the diesel price increase.

**TRANSPRT** → Air Traffic and Other Airline and Airport Statistics → Air Traffic by Country by Airport → **France** → Nice Côte d’Azur Airport

Nice Cote D’Azur Airport statistics were added to the **TRANSPRT** database. Concepts include passenger traffic, aircraft movements and cargo volume. Annual data are sourced from Aeroport Nice Cote D’Azur and start in 2014.

Chart: The pandemic hit Nice Côte d’Azur Airport harder than aircraft movements suggested. Movements fell 58% in 2020, compared with a 68% fall in passenger traffic. Fast forward 6 years, the airport has more than recovered its pre-pandemic passenger base even though it handles fewer flights. Passengers reached 15.2 million in 2025, 5.1% above 2019, while aircraft movements remained 2.7% below the 2019 peak. That works out to roughly 88 passengers per movement, up from about 82 in 2019, a sign of larger aircraft and/or higher load factors.

**CANADA/CANADAR** → Demographics → Census Families by Family Type (Table 17-10-0061)

The number of census families for Canada was added to the **CANADA** and **CANADAR** databases. These series are the official family counts based on the census statistics versus other sources of Canadian family counts such as tax filings. Detail is available for one-parent and couple families. Annual data are sourced from Statistics Canada and start in 2006.

Chart: Roughly one in six Canadian families is headed by a single parent, a share that has barely changed in two decades. The one-parent share rose from 16.2% in 2006 to a peak of 17.1% in 2021, then eased to 16.8% in 2025. The recent decline reflects faster growth in couple families, which rose 8.0% between 2021 and 2025 against 5.3% for one-parent families. The timing coincides with the post-pandemic surge in immigration, which tends to add couples and larger family units. In absolute terms, one-parent families still number nearly 1.9 million, up about 400,000 since 2006.

**USECON/REGIONAL** → Employment and Earnings → Revelio Labs Public Labor Statistics (RPLS)

The RPLS were added for the US to **USECON** and by state in **REGIONAL**. Revelio Labs is a workforce research and data company that draws on a proprietary dataset of over 100 million professional profiles on networking platforms, capturing roughly 2/3 of all employed individuals in the US, to produce granular insights into employment, hirings, separations and wages. Monthly data are released the day before the BLS Employment Situation report and start in January 2021.

Chart: When we compare Revelio’s estimated m/m employment changes to the BLS’s establishment survey estimated employment changes, we find that Revelio’s estimates capture the same broad trends with a strong correlation of 0.82. The correlation between the BLS establishment and household surveys is relatively modest at 0.31, reflecting their differences in methodology and coverage. Revelio’s correlation with the household survey is similarly modest at 0.29, indicating the much closer alignment with the payroll-based employment measures.

**TRANSPRT** → Port Statistics by Country → **South Korea** → Trade by Port

Port statistics for South Korea were added to the **TRANSPRT** database. Nearly all trade in South Korea moves by sea, as it is effectively an island economy since North Korea closes off all land routes. Exports and imports in USD and in metric tons were added for 44 ports around the country. Monthly data sourced from the Korea International Trade Association start as early as January 1988.

Chart: Busan is Korea’s oldest, largest and one of the busiest container ports in the world. By the 1990s, container volumes and ship sizes were outgrowing its terminals. Korea needed more modern, larger-scale capacity if it was to reach its goal of becoming a NE Asian transshipment hub. Busan New Port was developed with its deep water, large modern terminals and better road and rail connections. Some capacity did move from the old to the new port, but the net effect was increased capacity of roughly 15-20% in value terms. Approximately 30 billion USD worth of goods currently flow in and out of the Busan Port complex on a monthly basis.

**GLSECTOR** → Selected Indicators by Country → **Argentina** → Iron and Crude Steel Production

Iron and steel production statistics for Argentina were added to the **GLSECTOR** database. Series reported in MT are available for primary iron production including pig and sponge iron, crude steel production and hot and cold rolled steel production including detail for flat and non-flat products. Monthly data are sourced from Acero Argentina and start in January 2016.

Chart: In 2024, the Argentinian economy contracted 1.3% as Millei’s stabilization program was taking hold. The steel industry was hit badly and y/y production decreased across the board. The industry has a scale and cost disadvantage against Brazil and China, is highly concentrated, and has a heavy dependence on the macro cycle. Under current policies, protection from imports is lower, the currency is stronger, and domestic demand is anemic. Energy-linked demand is one of the only drivers, which favors hot rolled flat products. This category has shown the most recovery since the 2024 downturn.

**EMERGELA** → **Argentina** → Housing and Construction → Construya Construction Index

The Construya construction activity index for Argentina was added to **EMERGELA**. Construya is an industry association of Argentina's major building materials manufacturers. The index tracks the volume of construction products manufactured by member companies, sold to the private sector. It is widely cited by Argentine media and economists as a timely gauge of private construction demand. The monthly index is sourced from Grupo Costruya and starts in January 2017.

Chart: Construction activity in Argentina showed signs of slowing again in August. According to the Construya Index, sales of supplies to the private sector registered a SA monthly drop of 3.5% and falling 5.3% y/y – the third consecutive m/m and y/y declines. The organization projects a slight recovery in demand in the near future driven by the continued normalization of macroeconomic conditions and a greater impact of mortgage lending on the real estate market resulting from recent structural changes in bank lending and the introduction of new mortgage products.

**TOURISM** → Countries & Special Areas → **New Zealand** → Tourists Arrivals by Country & Length of Stay

Short-term visitor arrival detail for New Zealand was added to the **TOURISM** database. A median length of stay series are available in addition to the number of visitors by five specific durations. These data are available for ten selected Asian countries. Monthly data are sourced from Stats NZ and start in July 2013.

Chart: In March 2020, New Zealand closed its border to nearly all non-citizens. Tourists who were already in the country ended up staying much longer for several reasons. Returning flights were scarce and expensive, NZ extended visas automatically and its COVID strategy felt safer than back home. By 2023, duration of stay figures were back to pre-pandemic levels except for India. During this time, people of Indian descent became the fastest-growing ethnic group in the country. A larger, recently arrived community means more relatives visiting, and those long visits pushed up the average length of stay.

**CMDTY** → Commodity Indexes → IDEX Diamond Index

The IDEX diamond index and underlying drivers were added to the **CMDTY** database. This index is a benchmark that tracks global natural polished diamond prices. The index is composed of 15 drivers - the leading diamond categories by specific combinations of cut, carat, color and clarity - which together account for roughly 45% of the polished diamond trade. Daily data are sourced from the International Diamond Exchange and start in July 2004.

Chart: The price of natural diamonds has seen a sharp decline in the past 4.5 years, as it has nearly halved since its March 2022 highs. The index stood at 158.4 on March 7, 2022, and has since fallen 48% to 81.8 as of October 6, 2026. The rise in popularity of lab-grown diamonds is driving the price dip brought on by advancements in synthetic diamond production technology, rising demand for ethical jewelry, growth of luxury retail, increased awareness of the environmental impact of natural diamonds, plus the simple fact that lab-grown stones are significantly cheaper per carat than mined equivalents.
