Economics & Country Risk Services for Manufacturing

Advanced Economic Modeling

Balancing top-down and bottom-up business processes is a constant challenge. A 'bottom-up' approach encourages innovation and responsiveness. A 'top-down' approach is often needed to maximize opportunity, minimize risk and position for the long term. Improved use of data and analytics help leaders achieve this balance.

Global Link Model

The IHS Markit Global Link Model is the most comprehensive global macroeconomic model commercially available. Designed for forecasting and scenario planning, it links 68 individual country models with each other and with key global drivers of performance. The model accounts for 95% of global GDP, covering more countries and time series – 250 to 500 per country – than any other market offering. With quarterly updated baseline forecasts and 30-year outlooks, you have all the data you need for current decisions as well as longer term planning. Our own economists and analysts use the model to produce their award-winning industry forecasts.
