Using the NIGEM model as our key forecast tool, we can examine alternative global scenarios, looking at different economic assumptions and quantifying the impact of economic risks at a global or national level.

Experian can help you to understand the impact of alternative scenarios on your markets and strategies. We work with you to develop scenarios that are relevant to your requirements - these are fed into the NiGEM model to evaluate their impact, and we advise you on what the outcomes mean for you.

Recent scenarios include:

• US subprime crisis
• Changing inflation targets for the UK
• Impact of rising unemployment on consumer spending
• Pension reform in France
• Impact of falling oil prices on inflation
