Helping Eliminate Avoidable Macroeconomic Risks - UK & Global

MEF is a macroeconomic business forecasting organisation which specialises in global macroeconomic scenarios and risk analysis. MEF assists organisations in interpreting UK/Global economic developments and in capturing the range of likely economic/business outcomes using macro scenarios; MEF aims to help eliminate unnecessary macroeconomic risk via a range of (model-based) online subscription tools & services.

MEF is based in Manchester, UK but operates throughout the UK; we have been involved in a number of joint bids for both private and official contracts with academic partners. MEF can call on a number of specialist, academic experts in performing economic/industrial consultancy including those at University research centres based in Manchester and the UK.

MEF can construct sector/business level models for clients which can then be linked directly to MEF's global model mGEM - Manchester Global Econometric Model. UK/Global Macroeconomic scenarios can then be explored to help illustrate economic sensitivities in the client's key trading sectors/regions.
