Policy Research

Macro Policy

Our Macro Policy practice provides insights and analysis from leading economists and experts on topics related to global finance and economics, cross-border investment, international trade (imports/exports), and globalization. This type of analysis is critical for businesses because of fluctuating currencies, changing monetary policies, disruptions to international trade and investment, and a retreat from globalization. We’ll help you make sure you’re well-positioned to handle any macroeconomic shifts to finance, trade, and money.

The four pillars of our Macro Policy practice include:

Global Finance & Economics
Cross-Border Investment
International Trade (Imports/Exports)
Globalization Trends

Regional trade and technology alliances are a major factor for businesses when it comes to expanding to new markets, securing their supply chains, and protecting their innovations.

It’s already known that countries participate in both formal and informal trade agreements, however, these groupings even expand to topics such as emerging technologies and supply chain security. Therefore, businesses need to know how these multilateral groupings will impact their bottom line.

As businesses see their supply chains being impacted by Covid and geopolitics, they need to have foresight into how countries are putting forward policies to secure their critical supply chains.
