A leading indicator is a statistic that provides advance information on future economic conditions. Essentially, a leading indicator should catch turning points in the business cycle in a manner timely enough to enable policy makers to react. Opinions on current business conditions and future business outlook can be used as accurate predictors of changes in employment and productivity.
