    A core capability of our team is the production of local economic audits and forecasts. These are tailored to clients’ specific needs, but typically include demographic trends and how the economy has influenced them, labour market conditions, business statistics, productivity, wages, output and employment by sector, house prices, incomes and spending—all within the context of a macro overview highlighting global economic drivers.
