MARKIT

Challenge
This international financial services company produces a key set of global macro-economic indicators, the Purchasing Managers Indices (PMIs). These monthly indicators of business conditions in various industry sectors are closely watched by central banks around the globe and have the power to move markets. Markit needs a research company they can trust to manage and collect data from the U.S. 

Tactics
Noral is pleased to have been handling the monthly PMI survey panels for five years. Noral recruits and maintains panels of carefully selected companies and conducts online and phone surveys. The work must be timely and precise, in order to combine with data from 25 other countries. The data is then released at the exact same time each and every month, as financial markets anticipate the information. 

Results 
While the majority of economic statistics around the world are produced by Government agencies or institutions, Markit's global economic data series are widely believed to be more timely and accurate than most others. Noral is proud to contribute to that standard of excellence.
