In this report, we focus on the track record of the short-term forecasts for the current year and the year ahead published each year in the Macro Economic Outlook on the third Tuesday in September.
In every accuracy report, we pay special attention to one or more specific issues. This time, we zoom in on a comparison of ten national and international institutes' accuracies of GDP-growth forecasts for the Dutch economy. The accuracy of CPB's forecasts is compared with those of EC, OECD, IMF, the Dutch central bank (DNB), ABN-AMRO, ING, NIB Capital Bank, Rabobank and Consensus Forecasts.
