ISI Emerging Markets Group Launches Foresight 2023 Report

Highlight on Alternative Data – What to Know About the Economy Right Now

MUMBAI, India, Jan. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ISI Emerging Markets Group’s Foresight report provides a comprehensive insight into the challenges and opportunities the world will face in 2023. The post-pandemic recovery proved short-lived as shocks in 2022 re-opened economic wounds that had only partially healed. The world is entering 2023 in an environment of galloping inflation, looming recession, and elevated geopolitical uncertainty. Existing challenges and new crises are tipping the world into yet another big slowdown with a third of the global economy is poised to contract amid shrinking real incomes and rising prices. For many 2023 will feel like a recession. Yet, not all is doom and gloom. COVID-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which hurt global growth so much, have once again highlighted the need for greater energy diversification, enabling governments and companies around the world to accelerate their efforts towards a net-zero economy.

The Foresight highlights how the need for information and data has grown manifold with each subsequent economic crisis, and because of which, policymakers, macroeconomists, and investment professionals are increasingly exploring alternative forms of data to stay abreast of the economic situation.

Now the question is, what is alternative data?

Traditional economic data consists of national accounts, price indices, industrial production, and retail sales, amongst others. Alternative data, such as credit card transactions, luminescence from nightlights, web-scraped data, mobility data, and daily retail prices, to name but a few, are not direct measures, but are strongly correlated with direct measures and are available in a timely manner. Besides these, there is also an influx of data from statistical models which predict the real-time GDP or inflation, called nowcasts. The alternative data’s primary role is to obtain timelier information about a particular company, a sector, or even the whole economy since traditional economic indicators take considerable time to be released. It should also be noted that high-frequency data, i.e., data that is released more frequently than once a month, should not be synonymous with alternative data. There are indeed overlaps between both – for example, weekly motor vehicle registration data. Alternative data has been gaining popularity over the last decade, but it was the COVID-19 pandemic that really highlighted the need for timely and reliable statistics. As the challenges to global economy rise, the future seems more and more uncertain, which in turn has heightened the demand for more real-time data.

In the case of India, alternative data can plug the gaps for segments which have little or low-frequency data. For example, in absence of monthly employment numbers from the government, one can rely on alternative indicators such as Naukri JobSpeak Index, and Monster Employment Index that showcase the status of formal employment in India. Consumption is yet another segment which can be indicated by motor vehicle registrations and card transactions, which are available at a weekly and daily frequencies, respectively. The 4-week moving average of the former shows that registrations peaked at the end of November 2022 and have since climbed broadly downwards. Debit card transactions and prepaid payments also corroborate that consumer demand in India is moderating.
