The latest monthly economic outlook provides a view of the main economic measures of change, as well as news from the region about key industries and sectors. The official end of the recession is to be welcomed, but the long road to recover will not be smooth. Recovery will be slow due to weaker (although recovering) rates of demand and other underlying business factors such as lower profit margins.

In 2009, Insight East collaborated with The Eastern Region Publich Health Observatory (erpho) to undertake an analysis of the impact of recession on health.

Every quarter, Insight East produces a Quarterly Economic Brief which draws together various published sources to give a broader view of national and regional economic trends than is possible in our other more detailed publications. We have just released our QEB for Q4 2009.
