At macro level, the economic indicators are designed to provide extensive information about the main domains in which the policy intervention would be effective. The overall economy is therefore characterised, in terms of macroeconomic analysis, by output indicators, expressing the status of the economic activity (GDP, GNP, Industrial Production, Agricultural Production, Services, etc.). The social field contains specific macroeconomic variables, which are linked to the composition of this domain: social protection, education, health care, labour market. The fiscal sector is characterised by the usual set of indicators that are specific to the overall field of Public Finance: taxation indicators, respectively government spending indicators. The monetary indicators offer information about the evolution of the interest rate, money supply and money demand, exchange rate, inflation, crediting. The price level may constitute a separate domain of investigation of commodities price, price of labour (wage rate), capital and investment price (interest rate), price of a foreign currency (exchange rate), import and export prices. The external sector of the economy is generally analysed through the corresponding indicators of Balance of Payment (Current, respectively Capital Account) and specifically through the Foreign Trade Balance. In case of a transitional country, where the overall economic evolution has certain specificities, the macro analysis may include indicators related to privatisation, economic restructuring and subsequent adjustment processes resulting from reforming the economy on the basis of market rules
