Eurostat
The European Union's statistical office, publishing free harmonized data on member states' economies and societies.
Eurostat is the EU's own statistical office, and its defining value is harmonization: every EU member state reports data using shared definitions and methodology, so cross-country comparisons on population, trade, prices, employment and the environment are actually comparable rather than reconciled after the fact. Data is organized into thematic databases and broken down to the sub-national NUTS regional level, not just national totals. It's free to reuse under the EU's open-data licence, with bulk downloads available in SDMX format and via API alongside an interactive browser for ad hoc queries. It's funded as part of the European Commission's core operations rather than sold, and functions as the primary reference source for anyone doing comparative EU economic or demographic research.
