Roubini Global Economics (known as RGE), is a global economic and financial analysis firm based in London. The company also has offices in New York City and Singapore.
History
Roubini Global Economics was founded in 2004 by Dr. Nouriel Roubini, former senior adviser to the U.S. Treasury and the International Monetary Fund and a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business and Camille LeBlanc, serial entrepreneur in the digital media sector. Ms LeBlanc was the founding CEO and was responsible for building the initial team and seeding the product in 3,000 accounts in the public and private financial sector. The company re-branded itself as Roubini Global Economics in 2010 and now, following a 2016 merger with 4CAST (the world’s leading supplier of online financial analytics), forming 4CAST-RGE, has offices in London, New York City and Singapore, with a staff of in-house economists and analysts.
Acquisitions
In July 2012, RGE announced that it had acquired Country Insights. In a press release, Nouriel Roubini commented “We believe our clients will find added value in the combination of Country Insights’ systematic country risk approach and Roubini’s macroeconomic strategy analysis”.[1]
