Implementation note

NO SECRET KEYS IN ZIP

Real keys must be entered on the server in data/asia-api-keys.php. The distributed file contains placeholders only.

Japan e-Stat and Bank of Korea ECOS are prepared as key-based adapters. WTO and UN Comtrade are prepared as trade-data adapters. China production access is configured through DBnomics/NBS first, with direct NBS as experimental fallback only.

Asia-Pacific and Middle East economic data context

The Asia module extends Economy Data with country-level macroeconomic, trade, public finance, financial-stability and structural indicators for Asia-Pacific economies, Oceania and Middle East / Gulf markets. Pages use the existing Economy Data layout and normalize available API data into the same country and indicator structure as the global portal.

Core data currently use World Bank compatible indicator files, with additional provider layers prepared for ADB, IMF, BIS, DBnomics/NBS, Hong Kong HKMA, SingStat, Australian Bureau of Statistics, Philippine OpenSTAT, Japan e-Stat, Bank of Korea ECOS, WTO, UN Comtrade and ASEANstats.
