Multi-country economic analysis is time-consuming to do manually. Fetching Eurostat for Germany, then France, then Italy — across three different indicators — takes minutes per country. The compare_eu_economies tool does it in one call.
The tool
compare_eu_economies(countries, indicators)
countries: array of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes (DE,FR,IT,ES,PL, …)indicators: one or more ofgdp,inflation,unemployment
Returns a structured comparison table ready for the agent to reason about or format.
Example: Southern Europe macro health check
"Compare GDP growth, inflation and unemployment
for Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece — latest data"
The agent calls compare_eu_economies with:
{
"countries": ["IT", "ES", "PT", "GR"],
"indicators": ["gdp", "inflation", "unemployment"]
}
And returns a structured table the agent can narrate:
Spain leads with 0.8% quarterly GDP growth, while Greece has brought inflation below 3% — the lowest in this group. Italian unemployment remains elevated at 6.7%.
Use cases
Investment research: rank EU countries by macro quality score before allocating to local equities or bonds.
Policy analysis: compare inflation trajectories across member states to assess ECB policy transmission.
Competitive intelligence: understand the macro environment in target markets before launching in a new EU country.
Journalism and research: automate the data-gathering leg of economic stories without touching Eurostat directly.
FX analysis: correlate divergent growth rates with EUR cross movements.
Combining with ECB data
The richest analysis combines compare_eu_economies with get_ecb_rates:
"The ECB cut rates by 25bps last month. Which EU countries
are most likely to benefit given their current GDP and inflation?"
The agent pulls both the rate decision and the country-level macro data, then reasons across them — something that previously required a human analyst.
