UNESCO, the International Confederation of Authors and Composers Societies (CISAC) and EY (formerly Ernst & Young) recently presented a new report ' Cultural Times: the first global map of cultural and creative industries '.

The report was conducted by EY on the cultural and creative industries. The study analyses data from the creative economy in Africa, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East, including data from a broad swathe of sectors: architecture, performing arts, visual arts, film, literature, music, newspapers and magazines, advertising, radio, television, and gaming.

Its aim is to add to UNESCO's efforts to provide more data and better indicators on the role of culture in the development of societies.

The full report is available in English.
