Consensus Economic Forecasts

There are a wide variety and number of economic forecasts available to policy makers and businesses. HM Treasury produces a summary of these forecasts, from a significant number of organizations including banks, associations, consultancies and credit agencies.

These forecasts cover areas such as GDP, Inflation, household expenditure and unemployment, over a variety of time periods.

Forecasters generally use econometric models, to provide insight into possible future outcomes. These models will be based upon a number of assumptions, and so the degree to which they vary will inherently be affected by the specification of the model used.
