Ipsos releases global economic assessment

The latest Global Advisory report from Ipsos has been released, offering a global perspective of 24 countries current economic situations as seen by the people.

There are three analytic components that make up the findings of this monthly Economic Pulse report. Each question is tracked and analyzed from questions dealing with:

1. The currently perceived macroeconomic state of the respondent country:
- Thinking about our economic situation, how would you describe the current economic situation in [insert country]? Is it very good, somewhat good, somewhat bad or very bad?
The currently perceived state of the local area economy:
- Rate the current state of the economy in your local area using a scale from 1 to 7, where 7 means a very strong economy today and 1 means a very weak economy.
A six month projective outlook for the local economy:
- Looking ahead six months from now, do you expect the economy in your local area to be much stronger, somewhat stronger, about the same, somewhat weaker, or much weaker than it is now?
