> Stileex is the data house for Madagascar: the prices, rates and indicators that matter, consolidated from official sources, field surveys and online collection. Verified, up to date, and available via a public API.

Stileex brings together the figures that matter for a market and makes them usable.

Flagship data includes the Madagascar exchange rates and key economic indicators, alongside a field-collected rice price index and custom datasets on request. Stileex covers the Madagascar market today and opens market by market.
