How do I access other services available through www.economy.com?

All other Moody’s Analytics subscriptions available through www.economy.com (such as the Data Buffet and Précis reports) can be accessed through the “My Subscriptions” page via the user profile link at the top right of the website. This replaces the “My Economy” link previously found on the site. All bookmarked urls will be unaffected.

If you are a Moody’s Analytics client and would like to add this service to your subscription, please contact your account manager or request more information through our helpdesk. If you would like to trial or purchase this service as an individual you can sign up at our registration page.
