Business Activities and Payment

General

Consensus Economics is devoted to meeting clients’ expectations on the quality and timeliness of its surveys and keeping the costs of our publications and data services affordable. Since our first survey in 1989, we have never missed a survey date.

To control costs, we work with simplified client agreements, and we avoid the burden of bureaucratic form filling. We also work to reduce the risks associated with cyber attacks and their potential to compromise the personal details of our clients and their staffs.

To achieve transparency, we describe our business and illustrate our survey methodology on our website, and we provide PDF files showing selected survey results. These are free for clients to download and print.
