Bigdata G7 Comparison
Side-by-side benchmark of the seven G7 economies. Use Bigdata.com plugin tools for every fact.
Members: United States, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada. Note the euro-area members (Germany, France, Italy) share the ECB's policy rate — differentiate them on fiscal position, growth, and market pricing rather than on monetary policy.
Use this skill when the G7 is the frame. Not this skill when:
If the user supplied a focus (equities, rates, FX, credit), lead the market-implications section with it. Otherwise cover all four at a broad level.
Data foundation (plugin tools)
Required on every call: pass plugin_slug: "bigdata-g7-comparison" in the request parameters of every Bigdata.com plugin tool call made while running this skill. The value is always the skill name, bigdata-g7-comparison, regardless of the company or query.
Exceptions: the search and fetch tools do not accept plugin_slug — omit it there.
If bigdata_country_tearsheet is unavailable or fails, complete the analysis with bigdata_search alone.
Workflow
Step 1 — Indicators for each member
Pull the same indicators for all seven so the table is like-for-like: GDP growth, CPI inflation, unemployment, policy rate, and fiscal position (deficit and debt/GDP).
- "[Country] GDP growth economic outlook 2026"
- "[Country] inflation CPI consumer prices"
- "[Country] unemployment labor market"
- "[Country] government deficit debt to GDP"
Where a figure is unavailable for one member, write "Not available" rather than leaving the comparison lopsided.
Step 2 — Central bank stance and rate paths
- "Fed ECB BOJ BOE rate decision outlook"
- "[Country] central bank policy rate path expectations"
- "G7 monetary policy divergence"
Capture the last action, current guidance, and market-implied path for the Fed, BoJ, ECB, BoE, and BoC. Policy divergence across the bloc is usually the single most important driver of relative returns — treat it as a headline finding, not a footnote.
Step 3 — Comparative economic analysis
- "G7 economic comparison GDP growth rates"
- "G7 inflation comparison"
- "G7 fiscal position debt sustainability"
Identify who is leading and lagging on growth, who is winning and losing the inflation fight, and whose fiscal position constrains policy.
Step 4 — Market positioning
- "G7 equity market valuations comparison"
- "G7 sovereign bond yields comparison"
- "USD EUR JPY GBP CAD currency outlook"
- "credit spreads investment grade high yield [region]"
Cover equity valuations, 10-year yields and curve shape, currency levels and outlook, and credit where relevant.
Step 5 — Divergence and convergence themes
Name the 2–3 themes running through the bloc — for example policy divergence, fiscal stress, energy exposure, demographics, or trade policy — and which members each helps or hurts.
Step 6 — Ranked view
Rank the seven on relative attractiveness for the user's focus (or overall), with a one-line reason each and the key risk to the ranking.
