UK macroeconomic and sectoral forecasts
How do I access the information?
Knowledge Base
Our regular economic forecasts are presented in our Knowledge Base website with analysis and forecasts updated twice a year (in January and June). The Knowledge Base contains in-depth commentary to explain the forecast and highlight major themes of contemporary relevance.
The structure of the Knowledge Base and the selection of tables has evolved to match the needs of our subscribers. The Knowledge Base is divided into the following main sections:
- UK & Global Macroeconomy - The forecast overview with sections on the world economy, UK economic policy, and the UK macroeconomic forecast
- Broad sectors - Sectors in detail, with text, charts and tables to analyse and interpret the prospects for the major broad sectors in the economy
- Forecast Tables - The full set of forecast tables (in pdf and csv format) giving the macroeconomic summary, an intermediate level of detail for forecasts of output by broad sector, and finally levels and growth rates for a wide range of economic variables at the full 41-industry level.
Commentary, tables and charts can be downloaded directly from the Knowledge Base. Detailed data and forecasts can be downloaded in csv format.
We provide an annual presentation of the forecast at the subscriber's offices, along with a PowerPoint summary and quarterly economic updates (follow the link below for an example). We provide telephone and email support for discussion of any aspect of the forecasts or reports. We are also available to offer support when subscribers face unexpected requests, drawing on the full range of all our economic forecasting services.
