Unlocking value with economics and industry insight
Robust policy and regulation are key to unlocking value in regulated industries. Whether you are a policymaker, regulator or market participant, our economic analysis provides the clarity and insight you need for confident, value-generating decisions.
Sharper economic and financial analysis for better policy and regulation
When policy and regulation are grounded in robust, evidence-driven analysis, they unlock real economic value. Governments can shape critical sectors such as energy, water, transport and wider infrastructure with confidence, balancing the needs of businesses and customers. Regulators can create innovative, resilient frameworks that attract investment and drive performance. Corporates and investors gain the clarity they need to make bold, value-creating decisions that benefit both their stakeholders and the wider economy.
Our team of policy specialists, regulatory experts and economists are at the heart of these decisions. We work alongside governments, regulators, investors and corporates, bringing a wide range of stakeholder perspectives and deep market insight to every engagement. Powered by market-leading economic and econometric models and datasets, our analysis supports multi-billion-pound investment decisions and shapes sectors that serve millions.
