Estimize Economics Estimates

Overview

Estimize Economics Estimates contains individual analyst forecasts for global economic indicators. Launched in 2011, Estimize is an open financial forecasts platform designed to collect forward-looking financial forecasts from independent, buy-side, and sell-side analysts, along with those of private investors and academics.
