USAToday.com Rolls Out Economic Index

Posted
By: E&P Staff USAToday.com has launched a new index to keep track of the economy's health. The Economic Outlook Index tracks the economy's recovery and growth prospects using 11 economic and financial indicators. The index, said USA Today, forecasts real gross domestic product growth.

The index was created with the help of IHS Global Insight, an economic consulting firm.

USA Today said its Economic Outlook Index differs from others by including "forward-looking" indicators. The interactive graphic, which will be updated monthly and will run in print as well, estimates values for real GDP growth for several months into the future. It also provides historical context going back to 2000.
