From information to insight
For over 165 years, D&B has helped its customers determine the degree of risk in doing business.
As one of the world's truly global companies, D&B has for many years been active in providing information to customers engaged in cross-border transactions. However, while importers and local investment partners may initially be both willing and able to fulfill their obligations, they may not do so owing to adverse developments in the risk environment of the country in which they reside. Furthermore, the expected returns from doing business in a particular country are |
frequently hostage to country-wide developments that go beyond the intrinsic merits of any individual project or company.
D&B established its Economic Analysis Group with the mission to provide a country risk overlay to complement the credit risk information provided by D&B's traditional company reports and facilitate the comparison of economic, political and commercial conditions across countries around the globe.
The products and services offered by the D&B Economic Analysis Group are driven by data from D&B's global network of offices and from D&B's database of over 160 million company records world-wide. This information is supplemented by primary data from national and international sources and secondary data from the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and other multilateral organizations.
D&B Economic Analysis Group consists of highly skilled economists, econometricians, chartered accountants and analysts from reputed Indian and foreign universities. Team members bring with them significant industry expertise from a diverse array of sectors.

The D&B Business Optimism Index is widely recognized as an indicator that measures the pulse of the business community and serves as a reliable benchmark for investors. The index is arrived at on the basis of a quarterly survey of business expectations.

Respondents to the survey are asked six standard questions on six specified parameters viz., net sales, net profits, selling prices, new orders, inventories, and employee levels. The Composite Index is calculated as a weighted sum of these six parameters.
