High quality economic data and local area economic forecasts from Experian's economics group can inform your research and underpin your strategic planning.

Understanding the differences in economic performance across UK regions, counties and towns is essential for any public or private organisation making key decisions at local level.

If you require affordable, state of the art access to local area economic data and forecasts to support planning and policy formulation and to monitor local economic performance, Experian's UK local markets forecast provides you with timely high-quality forecasts in a user-friendly database with a web-based delivery system.

Derived from our UK Regional Planning Service, the forecasts are based on the very latest national and regional statistics and survey information available. Our team of analysts conduct in-depth spatial and sectoral research, resulting in a consistent and broad-ranging view of the UK, its regions and sub-regional areas with information disaggregated by sector and detailed employment type, where relevant.

This detailed sectoral information can be used in a number of ways. A few examples are listed below:

• Examine employment trends in different towns in the East Midlands
• Establish the total number of full time male employees in the Health Sector across UK cities
• Benchmark regions based on GVA per head
• Create a summary for all English counties (all summaries include headline GVA, employment, unemployment and population data)
