6 Arizona- Economic Indicators: Summary 215 The facts and trends assembled in this document are drawn from the Arizona- Economic Indicators: Annual Report and the Arizona- Indicators website: azmex.eller.arizona.edu The AZMEX website is a dynamic tool providing access to the most recent data at any time. So, if you find these data helpful, we hope you will visit the website often for the most recent data updates, analysis, and news. The site is also designed to be easily accessible from mobile devices, such as tablets and phones. The website monitors Arizona trade and competitiveness in the U.S.- region across six major categories: Arizona Trade Border Crossings Commodity Flows Economy Foreign Direct Investment Population You will find: 3,+ indicator series; visualizations of important trends; comparisons across major border ports of entry, U.S. and border states, and national benchmarks; articles and news; and easy download of all data presented. You can also download the Arizona- Economic Indicators: Annual Report from the website. This report summarizes important changes and trends which have developed over the past year. The AZMEX website was launched in December, 214, by the Economic and Business Research Center in the Eller College of Management at The University of Arizona, with collaboration and financial support from four of Arizona leading economic development organizations Arizona- Commission, Arizona Commerce Authority, Arizona Department of Transportation, and Arizona Department of Tourism. The motivation for building this new set of online indicators is to monitor Arizona trade and competitiveness in the U.S.- region across a range of key economic categories. While designed primarily to meet the needs of organizations engaged with improving Arizona trade and competitiveness, the AZMEX website will also be a useful tool for citizens, business leaders, and public sector decision makers interested in the unique opportunities the border region has to offer. 5 P a g e Economic Business and Research Center, Eller College of Management, The University of Arizona
