Measuring global threats and their impact on your business
The Global Scenarios Service employs our Global Economic Model to explore the implications of key risks to the world economy. Every quarter, our economists analyse at least four potential global scenarios and their impact, including the effects on our baseline forecast, two downside risks and one upside trend.
Clients receive a written report describing the features of the baseline forecast and of each of the five-year scenarios, accompanied by the headline results. In addition, we supply an Excel file that shows both the quarterly and annual results for a range of variables for each of 45 countries plus the Eurozone and the World as a whole. To ensure the scenarios are tailored to your needs, you can suggest upcoming simulations and speak directly with our economists.
