As global markets grow ever more volatile and interconnected, the financial-services industry needs expert macroeconomic and geopolitical insights to make key strategic decisions around risk management, investment strategies and asset allocation, says Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). Now, with EIU’s global intelligence available through the viaNexus data marketplace, the industry can benefit from the insights of over 400 Economist Enterprise experts covering over 200 geographies, industries and commodities.
EIU data intelligence is now discoverable and accessible via the viaNexus platform, enabling easy access and integration with other data providers and sources. Integrating EIU’s macroeconomic country forecasts, Sustainability Index, Operational Risk, Financial Risk, Business Environment Rankings and Democracy Index directly into enterprise systems enables users to anticipate macro shifts and optimise asset allocation ahead of the market, added EIU. viaNexus’s marketplace is specifically designed for seamless integration with AI agents and applications.
Ross Bailey, global head of financial markets & data solutions, Economist Enterprise, says: “By collaborating with viaNexus’s innovative platform we can bring EIU’s world-leading macroeconomic and geopolitical intelligence to more financial-services customers. AI is creating new opportunities to consume and interpret data, and this is one of many ways we’re ensuring that EIU will integrate with the workflows of the future.”
Tim Baker, CEO of viaNexus, says: “EIU produces exactly the kind of authoritative, deeply researched intelligence that becomes even more valuable as financial-services workflows become increasingly AI-driven. Our role is to make that intelligence easy to discover, integrate and consume - whether through traditional applications and APIs or directly by AI agents and LLMs. We’re delighted to bring EIU onto viaNexus and make its unique global perspective available through the next generation of financial data infrastructure.”
