Charts for economic series

Each series is a page of related charts from a topic's approved snapshot. Lines that share a unit sit on one chart, and you can switch them on and off. A different cut is another chart on the same page, with the source, period, unit and snapshot behind every figure.

Series vs Topics Series are chart-first. Topics are analysis-first.

A series shows related lines together, such as fund flows by category or Treasury yields by maturity. A topic combines many series with explanations, methodology and analyst notes.
