Data - International collection

Mexico, in particular, publishes a lot of data, comparable to the Fed.
China's data is available on their statistics bureau web site but some
series are often not updated, and the series often change definitions.

The data at the World Bank, IMF, and the UN are often stale also, but
that's probably your best bet.

I would carefully read the definitions of the data sets. Countries use
different collection methods, timing, and definitions, which makes
cross-country comparisons interesting, to say the least.
