With close to 50 economists and 200 economics and government reporters worldwide, Bloomberg has an outstanding capacity to explain where the global economy and geo-politics are now, where they might be heading, and the ways in which the forces interact. Bloomberg Economics offers a comprehensive macroeconomic research service for Terminal subscribers. That includes detailed forecasts, supported by thorough and original thematic research.
The Asian economy is critical for Bloomberg clients. Delivering timely, high-value research on monetary and fiscal policies and the future path of growth, inflation and other variables, and how geo-politics is increasingly shaping outcomes in a diverse, dynamic region spanning China to India and New Zealand will be essential to the ongoing success of Bloomberg Economics. In a crowded field, it will also be an opportunity to distinguish ourselves from the competition.
