RavenPack and Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) Bring Decades of Global Economic Research into Enterprise AI Workflows

EIU's trusted global forecasts and country analysis are now available on Bigdata.com by RavenPack, providing enterprises with a powerful data layer for research and building AI agents.

NEW YORK, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As enterprises race to build production-ready AI applications, RavenPack has partnered with EIU, part of The Economist Group, to bring trusted global economic and geopolitical intelligence directly into financial workflows.

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.

"Everyone's racing to build AI, but speed without trust is just a faster way to make bad decisions," said Armando Gonzalez, Co-Founder and CEO of RavenPack. "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."

Commenting on the redistribution partnership, EIU's Ross Bailey, Global Head of Data and Content, said: "EIU has spent over 80 years making sense of the world for decision-makers. Partnering with RavenPack brings that intelligence directly into the AI workflows enterprises are building today.
