Growth and inflation

Annual percent. Gaps are missing World Bank years, not zeros.

OpenBB

These series are `obb` commands. CPI and the short rate are OECD figures, converted from a fraction to percent. Real GDP is the OECD level, so it is not drawn on this percent chart. TimesFM is separate. No revision vintages are drawn.
