Region – new chart packs

I am trying out a new version of my interactive chart packs that makes navigation between economies and issues easier. It has almost 1,000 charts, and isn't yet behind a paywall. Please forward to anyone who might find it useful.

Let me know what you think, and if you find it useful, please think about subscribing.
