👤 Meet the Founder
Yash Raj Lamsal, Assistant Professor at Kathmandu University, founded Economic Indicators in 2020 out of a passion for economic data and a frustration with how difficult it was to access and understand.
Background:
- Independent economic researcher since
- Economics enthusiast following global economies
Why I built this site: “I noticed that whenever I wanted to check a country’s GDP composition, I had to dig through 50-page PDFs from government agencies or navigate confusing data portals. I built Economic Indicators to solve that problem - one clear chart at a time.”
🔬 Our Editorial Process
Every article on Economic Indicators follows a rigorous process:
1️⃣ Data Sourcing
We use only primary, authoritative sources:
- 🇺🇸 U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
- 🇪🇺 Eurostat
- 🌍 International Monetary Fund (IMF)
- 🏦 World Bank
- 📈 National statistical agencies (for each country)
2️⃣ Verification
Every number is:
- Cross-checked against at least two sources
- Verified for consistency with historical data
- Reviewed for obvious errors or outliers
3️⃣ Visualization
Our charts are designed to:
- Highlight key insights, not just display numbers
- Be accessible on all devices
- Load quickly (we use SVG format for clarity and speed)
4️⃣ Analysis
Numbers alone don’t tell the story. We add:

5️⃣ Transparency
