The outbreak of coronavirus was a massive shock to an already fragile global economy – causing many markets to slip into recession earlier last month. Much about COVID-19 remains uncertain, however, alternative data can offer investors and policymakers greater clarity on its most damaging impacts. We outline the datasets that offer timely signals of the most affected areas of the global macroeconomy.

How much does alternative data cost? The million dollar question. We leverage our unique position in the industry and proprietary data on pricing to shed some light on how much datasets really cost as well as some past and expected future trends in pricing.
