World View
World View sets out, in 1 concise page, our judgements, generally in qualitative terms, of the likely behaviour over the coming 12 months or so, of the current principal drivers of the world economy, and the prospects for the key economic and market variables of concern to investors and firms. It also lists the most important developments to watch for to see if economies and markets are, or are not, evolving as expected. The evidence on which these judgements are based is set out as comprehensive endnotes. (Occasional.)

​Economic Risks ​
​A tight, 1-page, monthly publication which points up key economic, policy, and political risks that will affect the near-term outlook, generally 3-12 months ahead. Risks concentrates on areas where we consider there are strong grounds for challenging consensus thinking. (Monthly, 12 per year.)
Analysis
A 1-2-page publication which identifies and analyses ̶̶ early ̶ major drivers of forthcoming economic and market outcomes. These drivers include not only the purely macroeconomic, but also policy, technological, demographic, and climatological influences, that stand to have significant implications, whether fairly immediately or over a run of years, for markets, investors, and businesses. Particular attention is paid to risk, and hence developments to watch for. (30-odd per year.)
