Industry Forecast Accuracy

Our overall forecast accuracy since 1985 is 94.7% at one year out. At ITR Economics, the length of time a forecast is in place is just as important as its accuracy.

While some firms give their clients a moving target, we provide ours with a stake in the ground, empowering them to plan effectively. Take a look at our last few years of scorecards and contact us today for more information. We are happy to talk through our strengths and abilities, as well as any limitations.
