Examination and findings on economic leading indicators
Welcome to the Economic Outlook Series
As we’re facing many new and escalating challenges on the global economic front, particularly from COVID-19 (coronavirus), it is essential first to recognize the impact that this health crisis is having on lives around the world.
This special report, “From Health Restrictions to Economic Restrictions,” is the third in a series presented by Prevedere and Nielsen on the changing consumer as a result of COVID-19. Insights are provided by Andrew Duguay, Prevedere Chief Economist, and special guest Nicole Collida, Nielsen SVP & U.S. Brand Effectiveness Lead.
Mr. Duguay and Ms. Collida weigh in on the latest economic update and impact on U.S. consumers. High unemployment, continued state restrictions, and delayed stimulus payments have precipitated the sharpest consumer confidence plunge in over 15 years.
This report shines a light on the pandemic led recession’s complex nature. It leverages Prevedere’s leading indicator economic modeling combined with Nielsen survey and category data to deep-dive into the collective consumer mindset.
