World Leader in Global Business Intelligence - The Economist Intelligence Unit

We are the research and analysis division of The Economist Group, sister company of The Economist newspapers. Founded in 1946, we have nearly 70 years of experience helping businesses, financial firms and governments understand how the world is changing and how to create opportunities to be seized and manage risks. As a British company, we are very much global. We serve clients around the world from 24 offices, our staff speak more than 25 languages ​​and we embrace foreign cultures with enthusiasm.

We believe that deep insights come from combining the best data with the best methods and the best people. We deploy significant resources to obtain and examine our economic and market data, including the use of primary research techniques and field surveys when necessary. Some of our methods, frameworks and analytical tools are quantitative, others qualitative. But all are cutting-edge. Our staff are experienced country or industry experts, opinionated and qualified to inform your decisions.

We are candid in our views. Unlike our sister company, The Economist newspapers, much of our work is tailored to clients and remains confidential. But we have the same strong passion for independence and integrity. Clients work with us because we are not afraid to tell them what we really think. We never cater to internal agendas, nor do we work to support some preconceived strategy. We have no vested interest in any specific recommendations, and we do not perform follow-up work to help clients implement strategies or plan M&A. We simply analyze the facts and present our conclusions. We believe that our clients will ultimately execute better strategies.
