The monthly indicator used by the Central Bank of Luxembourg to analyse the business cycle and forecast GDP growth between 2007 and 2013 delivered a "satisfactory" performance, according to research published yesterday.

The working paper, 2007–13: This is what the indicator told us – evaluating the performance of real-time nowcasts from a dynamic factor model, notes the indicators were developed using a database of around 100 economic and financial time series.
