Comprehensive Global Information by CountryWatch.com

For all of our Country Reviews, we at CountryWatch.com use the most current and dependable sources available, so that we can be satisfied that we are presenting a contemporaneous and accurate perspective on a given country.In this regard, our format uses the latest available annual economic data.

As exemplified by our economic overviews, the sources used, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reports, are published on annual basis, but as with all such reported macroeconomic activity, published figures and statistics generally trail behind a year.Moreover, this reflux of one-year is commonly characteristic of most reliable and legitimate published sources, and it is especially attributable to statistical data.Any other such information, such as the national flag, was current at the time of publication.

In the publishing enterprise, information is in a state of constant flux and change.Consequently, we deal with the typical delayed write-to print time frame that all reputable publications encounter, and that are simply reflective of the publication process.Recognizing this reality, CountryWatch.com publishes all 191 Country Reviews twice annually, and so the material can be regularly updated.

In addition, CountryWatch.com also has a trademarked, news service called the Country Wire which is available to all customers who purchase our Country Reviews.The CountryWire is an online, country-by-country news service that updates news daily for each country using top international news agencies including US and World News: United Press International Business in Asia: Asia Pulse, Daily News: Pan-African News Agency, Internet News Service: Xinhua (New China) News Agency, CANA News Bulletin: Caribbean News Agency, Interfax-American Daily Financial Report: Interfax-America, and World News Connection: National Technical Information Service.

In this way, not only are hundreds of stories accessible for each country, thus providing daily current information to supplement the Country Reviews, but the wealth of international news agencies we use translates into truly global coverage for each country.Accordingly we at CountryWatch.com are confident that our combined products make us a unique, effective and accurate provider of global information, on a country-by-country basis, for all 191 countries in the world, recognized by the United States Department of State.
