Delta Economics and HSBC Trade Connections

Delta Economics runs the quarterly HSBC Trade Forecast which is part of the HSBC Trade Connections programme.  The Trade Forecast predicts how trade is going to develop over the next five, ten and fifteen years.

It forecasts overall trade growth (exports, imports and total trade) globally, in global regions and in individual countries.  Spanning 36 countries, it covers the top ten sectors for exports and imports for each of these.  The Forecast has a unique approach to understanding the drivers of trade from a business perspective, informed by: trade trends, macroeconomic and market influences on trade, and business envrionment influences on trade.

We also provide economic data and narrative for each of these countries and regions to HSBC.
