Mitigation of risks
Our deep and wide range of knowledge across geographies, sectors and global issues, combined with our economic models and analytical capabilities, gives us an unparalleled ability to identify and anticipate emerging risks (economic, political, sovereign, social, climate-related, technological) and help organisations understand their potential impact.
Questions We Can Help You Answer
Economic and regulatory change is relentless. How can I measure it and mitigate its impact on my business?
How can I protect my business from the impacts of climate change?
How can I stress test my corporate planning and quantify the impact of different risk scenarios?
What new opportunities might there be if I develop an effective risk mitigation strategy?
Develop effective strategies
Risk identification and mitigation can be daunting. So, not only do we help clients identify risks, we work with them to understand the severity of those risks for their business to enable them to develop risk mitigation strategies to manage, eliminate or reduce the risk to an acceptable level.
Identifying and quantifying risks to your markets
- Identify and anticipate emerging risks (economic, political, social, climate-related, technological) and quantify their severity.
- Use our forecast data as a baseline for your business, and then apply a range of top-down scenarios and stress tests.
- Analyse risks by feeding Oxford Economics’ data into your internal planning models, and prioritise and build mitigation strategies based on the impact on your business.
- Use our databank reporting to evaluate market risk insights.
- Use our historical data to develop internal forecasts.
Out of risk mitigation comes opportunities
A risk-informed strategy is a source of competitive advantage:
- Understand how trends and market growth trajectories may have changed.

Impact of COVID-19 on the red meat processing industry
The report stated that the industry not only dealt with the pandemic within processing plants themselves, but it also dealt with logistical and labour supply shocks. The skill and flexibility of the meat processing industry was a contributing factor for the pandemic creating only modest impacts on industry revenues.
“To our knowledge the most robust, comprehensive, and timely world macroeconomic model is the Oxford Economics model. We tested multiple world models in 2011, Oxford towered above the competition. Bottom line, the Oxford Economics model is a mission-critical tool. Customer support and training is extensive, and the billing process is dramatically less painful compared to our other vendors.”
