The redistribution partnership launches EIU's decades of global expertise, covering political, economic, and policy developments across 200+ countries, along with industry, commodity, and risk analysis. Through Bigdata.com's APIs and MCP connectors, enterprises can seamlessly integrate EIU forecasts, macroeconomic data, and market intelligence into their AI applications, without the hassle of managing multiple data vendors.

"That's why we partnered with EIU, part of The Economist Group. We're building an intelligent macroeconomic and geopolitical data layer for financial AI - a single place where the world's best intelligence is already enriched, connected, and ready to power any application, any workflow, any agent. That's the infrastructure enterprises need, and that's what we're delivering."
