Central Singapore Capital Economics Full time

Capital Economics is one of the world’s leading independent economic research companies. We provide country and regional research on most of the major developed and emerging economies. We also provide overview services covering the global economy and financial markets, and have dedicated services providing research on commodities and on the property sector.

Founded in 1999, we have gained an enviable reputation for original and insightful research and have built up a wide and distinguished client base. We produce publications for world-wide distribution and offer support to clients in their respective time-zones through our offices in London, New York, Toronto and Singapore.

Overall, more than 1,500 institutions subscribe to our publications. The majority are in the financial sector, including some of the world’s largest investment banks and wealth managers. We also have a growing number of corporate clients, as well as many relationships with governments and central banks, both in developed and emerging economies.

The Singapore team currently consists of around twenty full-time staff based in our office in Raffles Place (CBD). It is vital that you are happy to work in a small, close-knit unit.
**The Role**

A macroeconomist (based in Singapore) working within our India team, reporting to Senior India Economist Shilan Shah (based in London). This person will possess strong analytical skills, be willing to challenge the consensus and have the ability to express themselves in English with clarity and concision. You’ll have an opportunity to contribute across the range of our work on India and to discussions about India’s impact on other EMs and the world.
- Help formulate views on the outlook for India’s economy, monetary/fiscal policy and financial markets. Try to identify where consensus expectations for policy and for key economic and financial indicators are wrong.
- Produce frequent pieces of written analysis on these views. At one end of the spectrum, this would include responses to events, data releases and policy decisions, which are sent to clients within a few minutes. At the other, you would be writing on themes that are likely to shape India’s economy over several years.
- As your expertise grows, you would present these views directly to clients, whether in person, on the telephone or conference calls, or at seminars. You would also be encouraged to build your own profile, including through media appearances.

**Requirements**:

- A strong academic background with, at least, a good undergraduate degree in economics.
- At least two years’ experience working as a macroeconomist within the public sector, a financial institution or a research organisation. Previous experience covering India would be an advantage, but is not essential.
- Above all, strong writing skills. Most of our output is written, so the ability to structure a written argument in English and express it clearly and concisely is a must. The hiring process includes a writing assessment.

Please send a CV with a short covering letter explaining why you want to work for Capital Economics and why you are suited to the role.
**Benefits**
- Leave package
- Hybrid working (working from home and office)
- Training & development
- Competitive medical insurance
- Good additional maternity and paternity policies
- Weekly at home wellbeing classes (Yoga, Meditation)
