This dataset includes The OECD Weekly Tracker of GDP growth. It provides a real-time high-frequency indicator of economic activity using machine learning and Google Trends data. It has a wide country coverage of OECD and G20 countries.

The Tracker (yoy) provides estimates of weekly GDP relative to the same week in the previous year. It covers the whole period from early 2020 to today.
The Tracker (yo2y) provides estimates of weekly GDP relative to the same week in the two years before (the 104-week difference). It covers the whole period from early 2020 to today.
The Tracker (counterfactual) is an estimate of the percent difference between weekly GDP and the pre-crisis GDP trend. It is available until the end of 2021. The pre-crisis GDP trajectory is proxied by OECD forecasts made in November 2019.

**The data is currently under review by the source, which is why it has not been updated**
