Roubini Global Economics, LLC

What Roubini Global Economics, LLC does

Roubini Global Economics, LLC operates a digital macroeconomic research and forecasting platform marketed under the Continuum Economics brand (continuumeconomics.com). The platform delivers human-authored macro research, FX forecasts, technical analysis, country-level economic insights, Shadow Credit Ratings, central bank policy commentary, and economic calendar previews/reviews, covering both developed markets (e.g., US, Eurozone, UK, Japan, Canada, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Australia) and emerging markets across Asia, EMEA, and Latin America. Distribution is multi-channel, with the core product delivered through a web-based subscription portal and native iOS and Android applications, supplemented by daily and weekly thematic and tactical newsletters distributed by region (Asia, Europe, Americas) and a community forum spanning FX, fixed income, macro strategy, credit, equities, commodities, precious metals, and renewables.

The product is structured as a core platform with a modular product surface, where modules such as the FX Module, Technical Analysis, Country Insights, Macro Newsletters, Economic Calendar, and Central Bank Policy Coverage can be accessed individually or via the broader subscription. Shadow Credit Ratings and full Country Insights data downloads suggest the firm is productizing proprietary data assets alongside editorial research, with potential for downstream data licensing. The technology stack is a standard web-and-mobile subscription architecture; the source data does not disclose APIs, SDKs, proprietary ML models, or third-party AI integrations. The firm is GDPR compliant and headquartered in London per firmographics, though the operating entity (Continuum Economics) shows USA-related web presence and a 2021 launch footprint.

The business model is a freemium-to-premium subscription, with free thematic and tactical charts, free newsletters, and select "Freemium" articles serving as a top-of-funnel acquisition layer, and "Paying Articles," forecasts, and full data downloads gated behind subscription. GTM is sales-led/self-serve hybrid via the website's /pricing page, targeting professional FX traders, fixed income portfolio managers, global macro hedge funds and asset managers, emerging market investors, and commodity traders. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm has received industry recognition through the Technical Analyst Awards (Winner 2021, Finalist 2020). Leadership disclosed includes a Managing Director (Paul Bednarczyk) and a Director (Kevin Harris). No funding rounds, ownership structure, or revenue figures are publicly available.
