Anticipate Change. foresight.

From establishing a credible macro baseline to stress-testing assumptions across multiple futures, Oxford Economics gives forecasting and planning teams the rigour and range to anticipate change with confidence.

1. Give leadership a shared economic story

   Oxford Economics provides the independently produced, consistently maintained economic view that enables executives across finance, strategy, and risk to align around a single set of assumptions. Rather than each function constructing its own macro view, organisations can work from one shared baseline — reducing internal friction and ensuring the narrative presented to boards and investors is coherent and defensible.

2. Anchor your planning cycle to a credible baseline

   Oxford Economics’ economic forecast covers economic growth, demographics, inflation, asset returns, interest rates, and trade, and provides the independently produced, globally consistent baseline that organisations need to align internal assumptions and anchor planning decisions. Because every variable is produced in-house and linked within a single global model, the view is coherent across geographies, sectors, cities and time horizons, and defensible when leadership or regulators challenge the underlying assumptions.

3. Prepare for disruption with structured scenario analysis

   A baseline provides the most likely outcome but the ability to understand what happens when conditions diverge is equally important. Oxford Economics provides upside and downside scenarios that quantify the economic impact of shocks: interest rate shifts, geopolitical disruptions, trade policy changes, commodity price shocks, supply-chain disruptions, across markets, sectors, and specific business decisions. Scenarios are built on the same transparent methodology as the baseline, ensuring they are consistent, comparable, and credible when stress-testing strategies or meeting regulatory requirements.

4. Drill down from global to city and sector

   Oxford Economics’ framework extends from the global economy down to individual countries, regions, cities, and sectors within a single integrated model. This means a local assumption is always consistent with the broader macro picture, rather than being an isolated estimate that contradicts the national or regional view. Economists and analysts can drill into the granularity they need without losing coherence at the top level.

5. Anticipate cost pressures early

   Wage inflation, input costs, energy prices, and supply chain dynamics are modelled within the same framework as the broader macroeconomic outlook — enabling organisations to anticipate cost pressures before they materialise in financial statements, and to build those assumptions into pricing, procurement, and operational planning with greater confidence.
