Scenario analysis: Scenarios are analyzed using our proprietary Global Scenario Model
Scenario presentation: The scenarios and their implications for strategies and contingency plans are discussed in depth with the members

Scheduled sessions during the year include:

Three Webcast discussions

Global Scenario Model

Our Global Scenario Model contains detailed economic variables covering the world's 15 largest countries. The remaining countries of the world are also represented in the model, aggregated into seven separate world regions. The model can be solved simultaneously with capital flows and trade flows between the 15 countries and seven regions calculated on a consistent basis within the model.

The model can be used to quickly assess the impact of major economic developments, such as a sharp rise in oil prices, major currency revaluation, or measures that liberalize or restrict international trade.

The Global Scenario Model: available separately as an analytical tool for client use.
