# Official economic release calendars

Use the calendar maintained by the institution responsible for the release. This directory links original schedules; it is not a live syndicated event feed or a prediction of market volatility.

### Official calendars and policy schedules

| Research area | Original calendar or publication page | Review point |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. inflation and employment | [BLS schedule](https://www.bls.gov/schedule/) | Check release, reference period, seasonal adjustment and revisions |
| U.S. GDP and PCE | [BEA schedule](https://www.bea.gov/news/schedule) | Distinguish preliminary and later estimates |
| U.S. policy | [FOMC calendar](https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm) | Statement, projections and minutes are separate publications |
| Euro-area policy | [ECB meetings](https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/calendars/mgcgc/html/index.en.html) | Confirm meeting type and publication time |
| European statistics | [Eurostat calendar](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/news/release-calendar) | A country measure and euro-area aggregate differ |
| UK data | [ONS calendar](https://www.ons.gov.uk/releasecalendar) | Read the timezone and specific table |
| UK policy | [Bank of England](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy) | Check the current decision package |

| Positioning | [CFTC COT schedule](https://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/CommitmentsofTraders/ReleaseSchedule/index.htm) | Position date usually precedes publication |

### Before the release

Write the research question, prior observation, expected comparison, source and timezone. After publication, record what was released and what changed in the interpretation. Do not carry a forecast forward as an actual result when a release is delayed.

Liminal’s application calendar combines configured sources with its own timing and provenance rules. This public directory does not republish the application’s vendor feed or claim full national data coverage for every linked calendar.
