In addition to our regular commissioned research documents, the Progressive team provides readers with a variety of timely and insightful content, from a number of different sources and catering to a wide range of interests.
Our HyperNormalTimes content provides in-depth and considered long-term commentary on major macroeconomic and market-shaping themes. The more regular “PROGnosis” offers a concise summary of the major macro events of the past 24 hours, and selected UK company-specific news. Our Property & Construction Daily offers sector-specific comment from leading analyst Alastair Stewart, whose daily perspective on the sector covers quoted and unquoted company comment, alongside analysis of major property market data and the impact of political decisions.
