Economic Insight Report

Our Economic Insight Report identifies the key challenges and opportunities in your local economy. Covers current economic position, recent trends, drivers of recent change, strategic sectors and localised SWOT. A crucial first step in the development of an economic recovery plan or long term economic development strategy.

Economic Outlook

Economic forecasts can highlight the scale of the negative impacts and the clear need for support to ensure your region can sustain the livelihood of businesses and residents in the medium term. This online tool draws on economic forecasts from NIEIR, Australia's leading economic modellers of small area data.

Industry focus

Sometimes more information is required to understand the opportunities and challenges facing a specific industry as it recovers from COVID-19. Our Industry Profiles allow you to set sector baselines, monitor major industry movements, highlight strategic sectors to investors, identify unique local characteristics.

Scenario modelling

Our scenario modelling looks at what is required to close the gap between your forecast and the pre-COVID outlook. This provides important context about the level of intervention likely to be required to support a full economic recovery.

What others are saying...

"As part of a Community Workforce Plan, .id performed an Economic Health Check for us. We were really pleased with the outcome, they were quick and provided some fantastic data and cut it into a very manageable usable way. Providing data in this way has met that we have been able to set a check action plan to help us to move in the right direction."
