Asia’s policy landscape is evolving fast. Reputational challenges, regulatory shifts and new policy agendas are putting pressure on international businesses to defend their markets and demonstrate their value.
At Oxford Economics, we help government affairs leaders engage more effectively with their key stakeholders by grounding their advocacy in credible, independent economic analysis. Our insights help you build trust, shape policy dialogue and deliver messages that resonate with decision-makers.
Economics provides crucial insights into the drivers behind significant policy decisions, and illuminates the potential repercussions of various policy scenarios. In collaboration with government affairs leaders and industry experts, we bring fresh perspectives to the table, helping our clients to make their voice count in policy engagements.

Crafting a data-driven narrative that builds trust
We use clear, compelling economic analysis to help clients demonstrate their value to local and national economies.
As global leaders in socio-economic impact analysis, we work with organisations to quantify their contribution to GDP, job creation, tax revenues and broader societal and environmental goals – even for complex or non-traditional business models. This means helping our clients deliver compelling, evidence-based value they bring to local and national economies.
Example, Our partnership with Airbnb in APAC since 2019 has helped the company demonstrate its local economic contributions, providing a consistent advocacy narrative that has increasingly resonated with government stakeholders. Our impact analysis has provided the basis for a more constructive dialogue with policymakers at local and national levels, placing the platform’s positive contribution at the heart of the conversation.

Shifting policy dialogue from detail to strategy
We help clients move beyond tactical lobbying to shape broader, more strategic policy discussions. By demonstrating the socio-economic impact of different policy pathways with robust and objective analysis, we enable our clients to reframe conversations and build credibility. This is particularly effective when our clients’ policy dialogue is at risk of gettings bogged down in granular disagreements over policy detail. Our analysis helps present a broader perspective, and a more constructive foundation for policy discussion.
Example, For Uber in South Asia, our research showed how ride-hailing supports women’s economic empowerment. Through empirical modelling and real-world case studies, our analysis helped shift public narratives and foster constructive engagements between industry and government on urban transport policy. Our launch event was attended by government ministers, policy stakeholders, and the press, placing Uber at the heart of a positive dialogue about the potential contribution of technology to social causes.

Influencing senior policy stakeholders with strategic insight
We help our clients move from reactive messaging to proactive engagement by placing business issues in a broader economic and societal context.
Example: Our work with Food Industry Asia, equipped the trade association and its members with robust, independent analysis on issues like climate change, skills gaps and economic recovery – as they pertained to the agri-food sector. This enabled them to engage in a richer dialogue with government counterparts and to create space for more productive discussions, which helped establish trust and influence with key counterparts for more specific policy discussions ahead.

In Kombination mit unseren maßgeschneiderten Tools zur Risikoüberwachung und Szenarioanalyse sind wir ein unschätzbarer Partner für Unternehmen, die sich mit zahlreichen Vorschriften in verschiedenen Regionen auseinandersetzen müssen.
Wir identifizieren nicht nur die Risiken, sondern versetzen Unternehmen auch in die Lage, ihre Geschäftsstrategien und langfristigen Planungen an den zu erwartenden politischen Veränderungen auszurichten. So können sie sicherstellen, dass sie gut aufgestellt sind, um neue Vorschriften einzuhalten und sich bietende Chancen durch fundierte Entscheidungen über Investitionen, Innovationen und Geschäftsentwicklung zu nutzen.
Gemeinsam mit einem Kunden haben wir ein Modell zur Identifizierung, Priorisierung und Überwachung von Risikosignalen entwickelt, um eine Reihe geopolitischer, wirtschaftlicher, sozialer, technologischer, ökonomischer und rechtlicher Risiken zu bewerten.

“FIA has been working with Oxford Economics for a number of years and we are ‘repeat customers’ due to the quality of the work priced at the rate charged. We would continue to work with Oxford Economics in critical areas related to the food and agriculture industry, in which an economics lens needs to be applied. They are also a good team to work with, listen to the client and are not afraid to push back and offer advice on what works in terms of their extensive experience.”
