The FIGARO (Full International and Global Accounts for Research in Input-Output Analysis) tables are a result of a long-term collaboration between Eurostat and the JRC and present the relationship between economies at a detailed level of 64 industries and 64 products. They provide a picture of the world economy by breaking down national GDPs in industrial sectors and products, offering trade data across countries, and including employment, production, consumption and environmental figures. With this data, it is possible to analyse the socioeconomic and environmental effects of globalisation in the EU and help to answer policy questions. The 2024 FIGARO edition covers the whole time series of 2010 to 2022.FIGARO databaseAn official statistical productThe FIGARO tables are a statistical product for economic modelling, produced annually since 2021. They link national accounts with data on business, trade, and jobs for EU Members and 18 main EU trading partners (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Türkiye, United Kingdom, United States). A 'rest of the world’ region completes the FIGARO tables.Projections are made to obtain estimates for year T-2 (T being the year of FIGARO release), to ensure timely provision for EU policy analysis. These tables are progressively being used as benchmark for other academic projects such as GTAP, GLORIA and EXIOBASE.Eurostat and the JRC also collaborate within the GIANT initiative (Global Input-Output Accounts), comprising the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UN-ECLAC), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UN-ECA), and the World Trade Organization (WTO), which aims to explore synergies and common action among the various initiatives on the compilation of multi-country (extended) supply, use, and input-output tables.By using the FIGARO tables in models such as FIDELIO, CARMEN or Trade-SCAN, the AMADEUS team supports policymakers in understanding the global industry landscape and its evolution for a better design and implementation of EU trade and EU industrial policies that foster sustainable growth and competitiveness.Main stakeholdersWe work closely with Eurostat, OECD, IMF, UN-ECLAC, WTO, UN-ECA and the Asian Development Bank.Main publicationsFIGARO-E3: a high-resolution extended multi-regional input-output database consistent with official statisticsEuropean Union inter-country supply, use and input-output tables — Full international and global accounts for research in input-output analysis (FIGARO)QDR methodology: understanding trade flows in the EUAssessment of European Use tables at basic prices and valuation matrices in the absence of official dataProjecting supply and use tables: new variants and fair comparisonsCan supply, use and input–output tables be converted to a different classification with aggregate information? Spin-offs FIGARO E3FIGARO-E3 is a comprehensive inter-country supply, use, and input-output database for 2015, featuring labour and environmental extensions that are in line with official statistics. The database encompasses data for 213 products and 176 industries across 45 countries, as well as a rest of the world region. Labour accounts detail total employment and employment broken down by gender and skill level. Energy accounts include primary energy supply and net energy use, while air emission accounts cover four types of greenhouse gases - CO2, CH4, N2O, and fluorinated gases - for both combustion and non-combustion processes.Access the FIGARO-E3 databaseFIGARO-REGThe FIGARO-REG table is a comprehensive economic database that covers 240 EU regions (NUTS2), 48 non-EU regions (Norway and United Kingdom), and 16 main non-EU trading actors, with data for 56 industries. It is fully consistent with the Eurostat’s FIGARO) (inter-country) input-output tables of the year 2017 and it can analyse various aspects of the regional economy, such as gross value added, consumption, production and investment.An aggregated version of FIGARO-REG at 10 industries was published in 2025.
