How do I access the information?
Knowledge Base
Our regular economic forecasts are presented twice a year (in February and July)
in easy-to-read tabular and graphical form in our Knowledge Base website (see
user guide): The Knowledge Base incorporates powerful search facilities that
enable subscribers to target precisely the information that they need from the Economic
Prospects for the Nations and Regions of the UK. The Knowledge
Base contains in-depth commentary to explain the forecast and highlight major
themes of contemporary relevance.
The structure of the Knowledge Base and the selection of tables has evolved to
match the needs of our subscribers. The Knowledge Base is divided into three
parts:
- The forecast overview with chapters on the UK context, an overview
of the UK regional forecast, a focus on investment trends, and an analysis
at the level of counties.
- The regions in detail, with text, charts and tables to analyse and interpret the prospects for the 12 UK counties/regions distinguished in the report.
- The main tables giving the full detail in a consistent format making it easy to compare the performance of the regions for a given sector or of the various sectors in a given region. Detailed data and forecasts are also provided for the UK as a benchmark for the regions.
An abridged version of the Economic Prospects for the Nations and Regions of the UK is also provided, suitable for circulation to colleagues who only require an overview.
