About

My role as an Economist leverages a decade of experience to navigate complex global economic landscapes. With a strong foundation in quantitative analytics and econometrics, my approach integrates robust data analysis and policy examination to inform leadership with policy recommendations and investment strategies. The arsenal of tools at my disposal, including Microsoft Office (Excel), Bloomberg and various other data and statistical softwares (Macrobond, RStudio, Python to name a few), empowers me to conduct in-depth research and analysis. My experience in leveraging advanced statistical techniques (such as time series, VAR, PCA etc.), facilitates actionable insights, ensuring that strategic decisions are underpinned by precise and forward-looking economic forecasts.
