Testimonial
Nothing in the world compares with ECRI's insights into the business cycle. Those insights form a key part of our strategic and tactical management of asset class allocations. We have never been disappointed in following what ECRI's indicators suggest is likely to occur next.
ECRI can justify a certain smugness now that business cycles are back in fashion. The institute called the last two recessions and the current recovery months ahead of the pack.
Your work stands alone in the industry. I wholeheartedly value and endorse your service!
For ourselves, in this cycle, we'll line up with ECRI.
ECRI [is] the most accurate forecasting institution in the world.
Inflation Ahoy! We're indebted to the ECRI, that unnapping watchdog of inflation, for the FIG data.
