Main Economic Indicators (MEI) provides a wide range of indicators on recent economic developments in the 35 OECD member countries and 15 non-member countries. The indicators published in MEI have been prepared by national statistical agencies primarily to meet the requirements of users within their own country. In most instances, the indicators are compiled in accordance with international statistical guidelines and recommendations. However, national practices may depart from these guidelines, and these departures may impact on comparability between countries.

The "National CPI Weights" dataset contains the annual expenditure weights for the national CPI for the OECD Member countries at a detailed level of the COICOP classification (except Australia and Korea). The weight of a product in a CPI is the proportion of total household expenditure which is spent on that product during the weight reference period.
