BER

The Bureau for Economic Research (BER) is one of the oldest economic research institutes in South Africa. It was established in 1944 and is part of the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences (EMS) at Stellenbosch University. Over the years, the BER has built a local and international reputation for independent, objective and authoritative economic research and forecasting... In addition to the Macro and Executive Service, the BER also offers a data subscription service called numBERs and a unique Building Cost Information Service... The BER strives to act as your "virtual" in-house economics department by staying in regular contact with clients through the distribution of data, in-depth comments on economic developments, regular forecast updates and our unique business and consumer survey data. An important feature of the service is the in-house, or virtual, economic presentations provided by a BER economist.
