Primary sources and connected examples → · BIS / IOSCO infrastructure principles ↗ · BEA national accounts ↗MONEY & CREDIT CREATIONWorld Bank, IMF and BIS
Broad money, private credit, equity capitalization and GDP histories use World Bank indicators. Central-bank and banking reference scales are rounded cross-source estimates; consult IMF monetary statistics, BIS credit statistics and each monetary authority for current definitions.
World Bank broad money ↗ · IMF Data ↗ · BIS credit statistics ↗U.S. MONETARY SYSTEMFederal Reserve and U.S. Treasury
Federal Reserve balance-sheet, reserves and banking references derive from Federal Reserve statistical releases; fiscal receipts, outlays, debt and Treasury bill information derive from Treasury Fiscal Data and TreasuryDirect.

The Treasury Bill Atlas links the issuing or auction authority for every represented country. Maturities are descriptive program conventions; current yields must be read from the linked official auction/statistics pages.
Country-by-country official links →ANNUAL ISSUER-LINKED ESTIMATESIMF, World Bank, BIS and national authorities
The Creation page annual bars are directional site estimates informed by issuer stock scales and assumed yearly changes. They are not a harmonized official series. Use IMF central-bank monetary statistics, World Bank broad money, BIS credit data and national bill authorities to replace estimates for formal analysis.

EIA international energy ↗ · World Bank price data ↗ELECTRICITYIEA and U.S. EIA
Electricity is represented as a broad generation-price/cost proxy because it is regional rather than one global commodity contract. IEA and EIA provide generation, demand, fuel and price context.
