OECD data comes ‘alive’ with OECD Factbook 2008, featuring new dynamic
online diagrams, and at a new lower price.

The free online economic statistics in the 2008 OECD Factbook
(www.sourceoecd.org/factbook) have been transformed to include animated
diagrams of the key indicators which bring the data alive visually.  The
interactive graphs enable users to clearly observe trends in the statistics
and interact with the data to perform their chosen comparisons between
countries.  The Factbook also includes increased data for key non-OECD
Member Countries, Brazil, Chile, China, Estonia, India, Israel, Russia,
Slovenia and South Africa.  

The OECD Factbook, which covers the whole spectrum of OECD statistics in one
go, is available in print at a new lower price of €35, $50, £25 or ¥4800.
The electronic version, complete with interactive diagrams, is available
free online or on the rather unique OECD USB key.  The USB key includes the
OECD in Figures and plenty of space for the users own document storage, it
is the ultimate in portable statistics (price: €25, $35, £18 or ¥3,400).
