Macro Screener

The Macro Screener lets you filter the world’s economies by any combination of economic conditions, rank the results, and immediately analyze them with the MACROVISONOMICS AI engine.

Accessing the Screener

Navigate to Screener in the sidebar under Explore.

Overview

The Macro Screener works like a stock screener, but for countries. Instead of filtering stocks by P/E ratio or market cap, you filter countries by GDP growth, inflation, debt levels, and other macroeconomic metrics. The result is a ranked list of countries that meet all your conditions — which you can then send to the AI for structured analysis.

Adding Conditions

Click Add Condition to add a filter row. Each row consists of:

Indicator — the economic metric to filter by (select from dropdown)
Operator — the comparison logic (>, <, =, between)
Value — the threshold (or range for between)

You can add as many conditions as needed. Results must satisfy all conditions simultaneously (logical AND).

Available Indicators

Indicator	Description	Unit	Typical Range
GDP Growth	Annual real GDP growth rate	%	-5% to +10%
Inflation	Consumer price inflation (CPI)	%	0% to 15%+
Unemployment	Unemployment rate	%	2% to 25%+
Debt/GDP	Central government debt as % of GDP	%	10% to 250%+
Current Account	Current account balance as % of GDP	%	-15% to +25%
FX Change YoY	Currency change vs USD year-over-year	%	-30% to +30%
Credit Rating Score	Numeric sovereign credit score (100 = AAA)	Score	0 to 100

Example Screens

Low inflation, high growth (growth markets):

GDP Growth > 3
Inflation < 4
Unemployment < 8

Stressed sovereigns (fiscal risk watch):

Debt/GDP > 80
Current Account < -3
Credit Rating Score < 60

BRICS-style emerging growth:

GDP Growth > 4
Unemployment < 8
Inflation between 2 and 8

Stable advanced economies:

GDP Growth between 1 and 4
Inflation between 0 and 3
Debt/GDP < 80
Credit Rating Score > 80

Currency pressure candidates:

Current Account < -5
FX Change YoY < -10
Inflation > 6

Filtering by Group

Use the Group / Universe dropdown to restrict results to a specific subset of countries:

Group	Description
All Countries	Full universe of 217+ countries
G7	USA, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan
G20	World’s 20 largest economies
BRICS	Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa
ASEAN	10 Southeast Asian countries
European Union	27 EU member states
Sub-Saharan Africa	48 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa
Latin America	Latin American and Caribbean countries
Emerging Markets	IMF-classified emerging market economies
Advanced Economies	IMF-classified advanced economies

Filtering by Region

Use the Region dropdown to filter by geographic region (e.g., Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa).

Reading Results

Results Table

The results table shows all countries that match your conditions, sorted by rank score. Columns include:

Column	Description
Country	Country name and ISO code
Region	Geographic region
Income Group	World Bank income classification (High, Upper Middle, Lower Middle, Low)
Per-indicator columns	One column per screener indicator showing the latest available value
Score	Composite match quality score

Click any column header to sort the table by that indicator. Click again to reverse the sort order.

Interpreting the Score

The score is a composite of how strongly each country satisfies your conditions. A score of 100 means the country perfectly meets all criteria; lower scores indicate partial matches when the between operator is used or data is slightly outside thresholds.

Color Coding

Values in the results table are color-coded for quick scanning:

Green — favorable values (e.g., high growth, low inflation)
Red — concerning values (e.g., high debt, negative growth)
Neutral — values within normal ranges

Analyzing Results

AI Briefing

Click Analyze Results to send the screen output to the MACROVISONOMICS AI agent. The agent will produce a structured briefing covering:

What the screen reveals — overall pattern in current global macro conditions
Top-ranking countries — what they have in common and why they score highly
Risks and vulnerabilities — potential warning signs across the screened universe
Regional patterns — geographic or income-group clustering in results
Suggested follow-on analyses — links to Sovereign Debt Monitor, Country Compare, or Trade Analysis for deeper investigation

The AI briefing is especially powerful when combined with group filtering. For example, screen G20 countries for high debt and low growth, then analyze — the AI will identify which large economies face the most fiscal pressure.

Save to My Space

Click Save Screen to store your conditions and results in My Space. Saved screens can be re-run at any time to see how the results have changed as new data arrives. Saved screens store:

All filter conditions
The group/universe and region filters
The date when the screen was created
A snapshot of the results at save time

Use Cases

For Macro Strategists

Identify the next wave of fast-growing economies
Screen for currency stress candidates before FX moves
Track which advanced economies are diverging in their growth-inflation mix

For Sovereign Credit Analysts

Monitor countries approaching debt sustainability thresholds
Identify candidates for rating downgrades (high debt + deficit + negative current account)
Compare fiscal positions across peer groups

For Policy Researchers

Study the relationship between trade openness and growth
Identify countries that have successfully reduced inflation without crushing growth
Find economies with strong external positions (high current account, stable currency)

For Investors

Screen for countries with favorable macro conditions for investment
Identify markets with currency tailwinds (positive FX change, improving current account)
Monitor sovereign credit risk across EM bond holdings

Data Sources

All screener indicators use data from the World Bank and integrated financial sources, updated annually as new country submissions are received. Credit ratings are updated as agencies publish changes.
