New York, NY, 14 June 2021 – YPO, the global leadership community of more than 30,000 chief executives in 142 countries, today announced The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the research and analysis division of The Economist Group, is a YPO Content Contributor and will develop valuable learning content and experiences to support YPO members through their leadership journeys.

Created in 1946, EIU has more than 70 years of experience through its global team of economists, industry specialists, policy analysts and consultants of providing forecasting and advisory services, such as monthly country reports, five-year country economic forecasts, country risk service reports and industry reports. The Economist Corporate Network (ECN), the EIU’s advisory service for senior executives, brings this insight to life in face-to-face meetings, events, and briefings.

Through this agreement, The Economist Corporate Network will collaborate with YPO to create customized learning events for YPO members in Asia Pacific, Dubai and Africa as well as inviting YPO members to attend select exclusive events on the ECN membership calendar.

“I am thrilled that the Economist Intelligence Unit and YPO have entered into this collaboration,” said YPO CEO Xavier Mufraggi. “The ECN briefings and intelligence will give YPO members an important advantage at a time when the world is more in flux than ever before.”


“Helping CEOs interpret and respond to emerging regional and global trends is central to the mission of The Economist Corporate Network, and we’re excited by the opportunity to play a part in YPO members’ learning journeys as a YPO Content Contributor,” said Dr. Simon Baptist, Global Editorial Director and Chief Economist of The Economist Intelligence Unit.
