factbook
Reference volume, statistics
A factbook is a reference work compiling essential facts and statistics about a subject, typically organized for quick consultation rather than continuous reading.
The term is most associated with the CIA World Factbook, which provides data on every country: geography, population, economy, government.
I checked the factbook for current GDP figures.
