Bloomberg Economics offers a comprehensive macroeconomic research service for Terminal subscribers. That includes detailed forecasts, supported by rigorous and original thematic research.

The goal is to offer Bloomberg clients a deeper insight into the themes that drive policy, financial markets and capital flows.
