If you are a macroeconomic policy analyst or financial stability officer at a Latin American reserve fund or regional central bank, this playbook was built for you.
Each year, your institution faces increasing pressure to anticipate second-round inflation effects triggered by global supply chain disruptions, particularly from geopolitical flashpoints like the Strait of Hormuz or sudden energy price spikes. Regulatory expectations under IMF Article IV consultations demand rigorous, evidence-based assessments of inflation transmission channels, yet internal modeling capacity often lacks integration between real-sector input-output linkages and market-based inflation expectations. You are expected to produce defensible, forward-looking risk analyses under tight deadlines, while coordinating across forecasting, financial stability, and external reporting units. Gaps in structured methodology expose your institution to scrutiny during international reviews and undermine policy credibility.
A comparable analysis developed internally would require 5 full-time economists over 6 months, including data sourcing, model calibration, and validation cycles. Engaging a global advisory firm for a targeted inflation risk assessment of this scope typically costs between EUR 120,000 and EUR 180,000. This playbook delivers the same analytical depth and institutional readiness at a fixed cost of $395.

Domain assessments
Each of the seven domain assessments contains 30 targeted questions, scored responses, and evidence tracking fields.
- Geopolitical Exposure Screening: Evaluates direct and indirect import dependencies on high-risk regions and critical chokepoints.
- Energy Price Shock Transmission: Assesses vulnerability of domestic production and transport sectors to crude and refined product volatility.
- Input-Output Linkage Mapping: Identifies upstream sectoral dependencies using national supply-use tables and Leontief inverse matrices.
- Second-Round Inflation Risk: Measures pass-through potential from producer prices to consumer inflation through wage-price and indexation mechanisms.
- Market-Based Inflation Expectations: Integrates TIPS breakeven rates, inflation swaps, and survey-based forecasts into policy models.
- Monetary Policy Response Capacity: Reviews interest rate transmission, reserve adequacy, and exchange rate flexibility under stress scenarios.
- IMF Article IV Alignment: Validates completeness of risk disclosures and policy recommendations against standard consultation benchmarks.
