 About The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) and Coincident Economic Index® (CEI) for Spain

The composite economic indexes are key elements in an analytic system designed to signal peaks and troughs in the business cycle. Comprised of multiple independent indicators, the indexes are constructed to summarize and reveal common turning points in the economy in a clearer and more convincing manner than any individual component.

The CEI reflects current economic conditions and is highly correlated with real GDP. The LEI is a predictive tool that anticipates—or “leads”—turning points in the business cycle by around three months.

The six components of Leading Economic Index® for Spain are:

• Capital Equipment Component of Industrial Production
• Spanish Contribution to Euro M2
• Spanish Equity Price Index
• Long Term Government Bond Yield (inverted)
• Order Books Survey
• Job Placement

The five components of the Coincident Economic Index® for Spain are:

• Final Consumption Expenditure
• Industrial Production (2010=100)
• Real Imports (3 month moving average)
• Retail Sales Survey
• Employment
