Economic Forecaster

An Economic Forecaster analyses economic data to predict future market trends and economic conditions. You might work for government agencies, financial institutions, or research organisations. Economic Forecasters focus on economic indicators such as GDP, inflation rates, and employment statistics. You’ll prepare reports and presentations to inform policy decisions and business strategies, using statistical models and economic theory.

Economic Forecasters play a crucial role in guiding economic planning and investment. You’ll need to be analytical and detail-oriented and be able to interpret complex data accurately. You’ll collaborate with economists, policymakers, and industry experts to ensure your forecasts are comprehensive and reliable. Effective communication skills are essential for presenting your findings clearly and persuasively.
