Economic and geopolitical insight guiding the world’s organisations

We work with our clients to help them navigate the increasingly complex global environment, to analyse political and economic developments, forecast economic trends, and understand country specific regulations and business practices.

Informing clients with critical guidance

Expert analysis at the intersection of economics and politics

Our integrated approach to macroeconomic analysis ensures that you can evaluate how any changes will impact your strategic plans, business operations or investment decisions. This expertise provides country specific short, medium and long-term forecasts covering economic growth, trade, politics, commodities and exchange rates, as well as proprietary ratings on the business environment and regulatory analysis in the key markets for doing business.

Actionable intelligence to win in the world’s markets

We help corporates, the financial sector, governments and academic institutions to understand how the world is changing and how that creates opportunities to be seized and risks to be managed. Our clients use our solutions to:

  • Monitor economic and geopolitical developments – providing a holistic view to enable comparisons of performance and market conditions.
  • Forecast future macro events – helping you understand how these might impact asset valuations and investment attractiveness.
  • Measure risk – anticipating potential challenges to economies, and their impact on supply chains, overseas operations, commodity prices and markets.
  • Identify market entry strategies and explore business opportunities – enabling you to make informed business decisions.

Responding to the economic and business impacts of COVID-19
