Our approach The scenarios are developed through a combination of assessing forecast errors for each country over the past 20 years, which are a direct measure of the uncertainty around the baseline forecast, and our country expertise to reflect particular risks at any given time. This methodology is similar to that used by major central banks when assessing the risks around their central projections. Our approach ensures that changes to scenarios from quarter to quarter are due to a transparent assessment of emerging or receding risks. At the centre of our approach is our renowned Global Economic Model (GEM), which integrates individual country models through global assumptions about trade volumes and prices, competitiveness, interest and exchange rates, capital flows, and commodity prices. The GEM links directly to our European Cities and Regions model, ensuring full consistency between national and sub-national projections.
