We were able to satisfy all of the client’s local and global economic data needs through access to a single platform. The depth and breadth of coverage met the client’s needs. Their researchers now had just one place to go to find what they needed, saving a significant amount of time and effort.

Questions around the validity of the data were easily resolved through the transparency that CEIC provides in terms of the sources of the indicators. Our QA processes also provided reassurance to users that the data they were using could be trusted.

Before subscribing to CEIC Data, the users spent too long collating data from authentic sources. Cross verifying data with primary sources was a big, time-consuming task. Data formatting was not easy, for tasks such as calculating growth and applying a forecasting tool. Leveraging the CEIC Data platform reduced the task by around 30% to 40%. CEIC provides sources for each series so users are aware of the exact source to cross verify if needed.

CEIC was a one stop solution for all of the above concerns. CEIC Data covered the emerging economy of focus in detail while providing greater functionality. The platform also covered global economies extensively. All factors considered added considerable value and created a time-efficient environment for all researchers.
