There are weak signs that the speed of the economic slowdown in Asia will slow down somewhat in coming months, but no signals for a pending economic upswing in the near future. Whereas the official statistics on the international level often appear after considerable delays, the ESI results are timely and internationally comparable. Especially in countries where the data base of the official statistics is insecure, the appraisals and expectations expressed by on-site economic experts in the ESI survey are of particular importance. ESI receives financial support from the European Commission. The survey relies on the participation of economic experts of multinational firms and institutions.
Participants receive an exclusive, comprehensive report of the results.
A German summary of the report appears in ifo Schnelldienst and on the Ifo website. In English, the results are summarised in CESifo Forum and on the CESifo website.
