The means are updated each month and show the expected outlook, this year and next.
- There are separate quarterly polls taken for 46 markets, then long term forecasts two to ten years out are produced.
- Two fee liable Consensus Economics® products are available on Datastream on a pass-through basis: Consensus Forecasts™ compiled from monthly surveys, having projections 1 and 2 years out for 100 countries; and Long-term Forecasts extending out 2 to 10 years, from quarterly surveys of 46 countries.
