dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of short-term economic forecasting is to try to
assess prospective economic conditions as a guide to the policy required
to maintain economic activity at the liighest sustainable level. The period
of the forecast is usually one of nine to twelve months, i.e. to the end of
the calendar or fiscal year ahead. This distinguishes it from the type of
forecasting, or more properly programming, in which targets or aims
covering a period of years are set... Short-term forecasting provides a framework in. which
all the ascertamable facts and predictions m connection with future trends
are assembled. In the absence of knowledge of what is happening in the
economy and without an informed view of its likely performance in the
months ahead, government policy cannot be intelligently formulated to
further the economic objectives considered necessary. | en |
