Welcome to QuantMetriks
QuantMetriks is a system that gathers detailed sector information each month across a wide range of economies. The system uses price, cost and volume data to create synthetic sales and margin signals by sector. Launched in 1996 covering three hundred detailed UK sectors, QuantMetriks now extends to a number of economies. This site currently includes datasets for over five economies with more countries set to follow.

Not only have there been no defections but the euro is now trending upwards against the dollar, even as the sovereign debt of a handful of nations, stand at “default warning” rates. - A resurgent sterling?
Few fan clubs are the target of ridicule like the one set up by those promoting sterling’s cause (a cosy club indeed). - An end to the dollar’s exorbitant privilege?
The dollar’s share of foreign currency reserves will fall as its reserve currency role is reduced from its exorbitantly high level. It will also cease being the sole currency in resource pricing.
