Purpose and goal
The Swedish Growth Barometer promotes the understanding of how market conditions affect businesses. The concept and the network has existed since 1997 and has served the business community by focusing on leading indicators relevant to the development of international markets. Thereby the Growth Barometer functions as a virtual and shared analytics function for participating companies.
Expected results and effects
he Swedish Growht Barometer has continued to provide a meeting place for discussing economic conditions, with an impact on the public debate. The target audience has been broadened and the faculty expanded. A regular publication of Outlooks and thematic reports has been established. The contribution to research and theory surrounding the concept of sustainable growth has thereby also be strengthened.
Planned approach and implementation
The main activities are (1) regular meetings with the Industrial Board and (2) analysis by the faculty. The Industrial Board consists of companies that provide their view of market developments as well as the broader trends affecting their business. The faculty s role is to capture these trends in themes and also to critically examine third-party analyses and outlooks. A synthesis is published in an Outlook which is communicated in an open seminar and published online.
