Monthly Economic Report - September 2025

[CCP_Bee]

Economic Capsuleers!

The Monthly Economic Report for September 2025 is now available!

The following Plots & CSVs have been removed:

• 0_produced_vs_mining_vs_destroyed - Plot has been replaced, listed below.

• 0_produced_vs_mining_vs_destroyed__pct_mining - Plot has been replaced, listed below.

• 0_produced_vs_mining_vs_destroyed__pct_production - Plot has been replaced, listed below.

• 0_produced_vs_mining_vs_destroyed__pct_destruction - Plot has been replaced, listed below.

• 1_regional_stats - Import/Export data-source has been deprecated. Plot has been replaced, listed below.

• 2_destruction_value_by_region - Plot provided very little usable value. All data exists in new data-export, listed below.

• 3_mining_value_by_region - Plot provided very little usable value. All data exists in new data-export, listed below.

• 3_npc_bounties_by_region - Plot provided very little usable value. All data exists in new data-export, listed below.

• 4_production_value_by_region - Plot provided very little usable value. All data exists in new data-export, listed below.

• 5_trade_balance_by_region - Plot provided very little usable value. All data exists in new data-export, listed below.

• 5_trade_balance_m3_by_region - Import/Export data-source has been deprecated.

• 6_trade_value_by_region - Plot provided very little usable value. All data exists in new data-export, listed below.

• 7_imports_exports_net_exports - Import/Export data-source has been deprecated.

• 12a_wormhole_import_export - Import/Export data-source has been deprecated.

• 12b_wormhole_import_export - Import/Export data-source has been deprecated.

• STATIC_ore_type_mapping.csv - Data now exists in new data-export, listed below.

• regional_stats.csv - Data now exists (excluding import/export) in new data-export, listed below.

• wormhole-trade.csv - Import/Export data-source has been deprecated.

The following Plots and CSVs have been added:

• 0_mining_production_destruction_history - New methodology used (described in README.md). In short, static type values are used so the plot shows the change in mining/production/destruction rather than the change in both.

• 0_mining_by_location- New methodology used (described in README.md). Uses meta-locations which include more variance, i.e. Null Sec (Sov) vs Null Sec (NPC).

• 0_production_by_location - New methodology used (described in README.md). Uses meta-locations which include more variance, i.e. Null Sec (Sov) vs Null Sec (NPC).

• 0_destruction_by_location - New methodology used (described in README.md). Uses meta-locations which include more variance, i.e. Null Sec (Sov) vs Null Sec (NPC).

• 1_regional_stats - New methodology used (described in README.md). No longer includes Imports/Exports. Production and Mining values use static pricing.

• 0_mining_production_destruction.csv - All data needed to recreate mining_production_destruction plots, including by location sub-charts.

• 1_key_economic_figures_by_region.csv - All data needed to recreate regional_stats plot.

• static_ore_metagroups.csv - Replacement of STATIC_ore_type_mapping.csv

• static_solarsystems.csv - Breakdown of all solarsystems including Location Metagroup (used in various plots and datasets).

• static_type_values.csv - Values used various plots where static prices used.

Future

• We plan to setup a github repository that will show the code behind each plot. Its primary purpose will be to enable tickets when you find issues with the MER.

• All existing plots will be moved over to the new process over time. Expect the MER to continue to change and evolve over the coming months. Thanks for your patience.

• We are considering exporting some of the larger data-exports in a binary format (such as parquet) for speed of reading and a smaller size.

• New plots and data-exports will be added, including a price history for each type, and what data-source we used (Market, ZKB or Base pricing).

Economic Trends

• Destruction remains relatively stable over the last ~9 months. While production continues its long term (~18 months) trend upward.

• Money supply has stopped falling. However ISK velocity continues its downward trend over the last ~6 months.

• MPI continues to fall.

For those of you looking to get your hands on the raw data for your own use, you can find the downloadable data for last month’s report in the following LINK.

Planetary Industry is slowing down for another month… why?! \o/

(Source: commodity_sinks_and_faucets_history.csv 2024/08-2025/09)

…or is it just taxes and fees being lowered …or grafting custom officers has become widespread?

Some of the CSVs in the zip are in the data subdirectory, most aren’t though.

You may wanna fix that.
