Oxford Economics Australia

What Oxford Economics Australia does

Oxford Economics Australia is the Australian arm of the OE Group, a global economic advisory firm founded in 1964 and headquartered in Sydney. The firm delivers macroeconomic forecasting, bespoke consulting, and economic impact analysis to enterprise and government clients across 200 countries, supported by a network of over 450 expert economists and proprietary economic models. Its platform-plus-modules architecture centres on data products such as Databank and the Global Model Workstation Online, alongside subscription modules covering Macro, Cities and Regions, Industries, Travel and Tourism, Climate Change, Real Estate Economics, Consumer Outlook, and Construction. The AI & Data Solutions offering integrates this proprietary content into enterprise AI tools via Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and the firm is currently beta-testing AskOEAI Executive Lens, a conversational AI agent that personalises insights by user role, sector, and geography.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring subscriptions to forecasting services and data platforms, professional-services consulting engagements (economic impact, scenario planning, transaction due diligence, climate and sustainability), and event revenue from conferences such as the Australian Economic Outlook 2026 and the Australia Construction Outlook 2026. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with custom, quote-based annual pricing, complemented by content marketing, webinars, podcasts, and the proprietary Global Cities Index. Customer segments span Government and Education, Banking and Finance, Real Estate, Construction and Infrastructure, Travel and Tourism, Energy/Renewables/Chemicals/Mining, Consumer and Retail, and Trade and Member Associations, with the first five verticals marked as primary. Oxford Economics Australia operates alongside sister entities Tourism Economics, Oxford Economics Africa, and Alpine Macro within the broader OE Group.
