Why “Nowcasting”?

Official statistics land weeks after the quarter they describe — GDP roughly six weeks late, surveys within a fortnight. So the latest official figure is already history. We estimate where each economy is today by anchoring the forecast to real-time news tone, and flag it honestly when a figure is a nowcast rather than a forecast of the future.

Beyond the Nowcast

Knowing where an economy stands today is only half the picture. From the nowcast, every indicator extends into quarterly forecasts a full year ahead — each shown as a range of likely outcomes rather than a single number. For teams that need to plan further out, we build bespoke longer-horizon forecasts on request.

World Sentiment Map

Daily news tone across every tracked economy, scored −100 to +100, on an interactive choropleth.

Country Terminals

Per-indicator nowcasts and forecasts with probability ranges and a plain-English read on accuracy.

Macro Laws

Textbook relationships — Okun, Phillips, Taylor and more — estimated per country and graded by the data.

Scenario Planner

A Bayesian-VAR engine: shock one variable and trace the ripple through the rest of the economy.

News Sentiment

Indicator-aware sentiment analysis that interprets economic developments in context—for example, falling inflation is treated as positive news rather than simply a decline.

A Track Record You Can Check

Dozens of forecasting approaches compete for every indicator, judged on how well they predicted quarters they had never seen. Only the most accurate is deployed — and every past call is kept on the books for you to inspect.

Not Just Macro

Forecast Any Time Series

The engine behind these pages isn’t an economics model — it’s a general forecasting tournament. Dozens of statistical and machine-learning models compete on your series, are judged on quarters (or months, or weeks) they never saw, and only the proven winner is deployed. Economic indicators are simply the series we publish.

Economic Indicators

Inflation, GDP, trade, labour markets — the live public coverage you can inspect today.

Demand Forecasting

Sales, orders, bookings or shipment volumes — with honest backtested error bars per series.

Business & Industry Trends

Sector output, pricing, utilisation, traffic — any recurring metric with enough history to learn from.

Custom Use Cases

Bring a time series; the tournament picks the model that actually predicts it — and shows the receipts.
