**ENERGY** → Petroleum → Petroleum Product Prices Including Pump Prices → **Myanmar**

Fuel prices for Myanmar were added to the **ENERGY** database. Prices for 92 and 95 octane gasoline, diesel and premium diesel are available reported in kyat per liter for twenty cities across the country. Daily data are sourced from the Department of Consumer Affairs and start in August 2022.

Chart: Myanmar’s capital city experienced a massive fuel price surge in March 2026, with diesel prices increasing by 109% over the course of the month, while 95 octane gasoline rose by 97%. This was triggered by the Middle East conflict which disrupted global supplies and shipping routes Myanmar depends on. Ninety-five percent of fuel demand is met through imports, which means the country has almost no buffer against global shocks. Fuel prices have decreased since April peaks, but we have been seeing an upturn once again since late July.

**EMERGELA** → **Argentina** → Financial → Mortgage and Property Deeds

Property sale and mortgage deeds statistics for the city of Buenos Aires were added to **EMERGELA**. The table includes the number of deeds and associated values reported in millions of ARS for each. Monthly data are sourced from Instituto de Estadística y Censos de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires and start in January 2002.

Chart: Mortgage credit currently finances only 20% of real estate transactions in Buenos Aires – it was even lower prior to 2024. This is a sharp contrast to markets like in the US where 75% of property purchases are financed with a mortgage. Argentina's history of banking crises, currency devaluations, and deposit freezes created this cash-dominated market. The increase in mortgages after 2023 resulted from a combination of Milei's economic stabilization policies, structural changes in bank lending, inflation control, and new mortgage products designed to hedge against Argentina's persistent volatility.

**EMERGEPR** → **South Korea** → Employment and Earnings → Labor Underutilization Indicators

Labor underutilization indicators for South Korea were added to **EMERGEPR**. Adjusted and unadjusted series for time-related underemployment, potential labor force, extended labor force, unavailable jobseekers and available potential jobseekers are available in addition to labor underutilization indicators calculated from these metrics. Monthly data are sourced from the Ministry of Data and Statistics and start in January 2015.

Chart: South Korea's official unemployment rate has hovered around 2.8% since 2022. However, the LU3 (the broadest LU measure) runs three times higher – and currently sits at 8.4%. Youth is where the stress is concentrated, and it is diverging from the rest of the labor market. Youth employment has been on the decline since mid-2022 and is down 188,000 YoY to 3.39 million in July. The youth unemployment rate jumped from 5.6% to 6.9% YoY - a 1.3 ppt rise, the sharpest increase since May 2023. It has become enough of a political issue that the government recently unveiled a massive 43.3 trillion won youth employment policy package for 2027.

**CANADAR** → Other Statistics → Number of Enterprises by Age of Owner and Revenue Threshold

Number of enterprises by age of owner and revenue threshold for Canada were added to **CANADA** and **CANADAR**. Employer and nonemployer enterprises by revenue thresholds of less than and greater than $30,000 and by age ranges of the enterprise owners are available for Canada and its 13 provinces and territories. Annual data are sourced from Statistics Canada and start in 2019.

Chart: The highest percentage of enterprise owners in Canada are between the ages of 50 and 64, with the second highest percentage between ages 40 and 49. The 40 and above age categories represent 76.4% of all enterprise owners. A recent Canadian Federation of Independent Business report stated that 76% of business owners plan to exit their business within the next decade. The fundamental challenge for Canada is a generational mismatch: a large cohort of aging business owners exiting, combined with declining entrepreneurial entry by younger Canadians.

**TRANSPRT** → Passenger Statistics → Comunidad de **Madrid** Public Transport Ridership

Public transportation ridership data for Madrid was added to the **TRANSPRT** database. These data cover the four major transit modes operating across Madrid — the Metro, the public city bus, interurban bus and commuter rail - along with an aggregate for total ridership. Daily data are sourced from Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid and start as early as January 2010.

Chart: Madrid achieved an all-time record in 2025 with over 1.75 billion passengers across its entire public transport system, representing a 3.75% increase over 2024 – and the momentum continues into 2026 where the YTD figures are currently higher than in 2025. The Metro is the clear workhorse with 45.3% of all trips in the region being made on the Madrid underground. Metro ridership grew 3% to reach 736.9 million passengers in 2025. The overall ridership story in Madrid is one of strong urban mobility expansion, particularly centered on its Metro system.

**ENERGY** → Petroleum → Petroleum Product Prices Including Pump Prices → **Latvia**

Retail fuel prices for Latvia were added to the **ENERGY** database. Series reported in EUR per liter are available for 95 and 98 octane petrol, diesel and autogas which is LPG primarily used as an alternative fuel for vehicles. Monthly data are sourced from the Central Statistics Bureau and start in January 2005.

Chart: Fuel prices in Latvia hit historic lows in May 2020, reflecting the global economic shock from the pandemic and collapsed oil demand. Prices then surged dramatically, with the peak reaching 2.117 EUR/liter for petrol 98 in mid-2022 driven by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This was a watershed moment that permanently shifted prices to a higher baseline. Prices again spiked in May 2026 caused by the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Latvia is especially exposed to these global supply disruptions since it has no domestic production of crude oil or petroleum products.
