GES

The GES champions economics in government. We support our economists and promote the use of high-quality economic analysis in policymaking. The GES is committed to becoming a community of greater diversity and inclusion, and to the core values of the Civil Service: integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality... The GES was created in 1964 although economists had been working in government long before. Government economists have left a long and illustrious record including three Nobel Prize winners: James Meade, Richard Stone and Ronald Coase. Many permanent secretaries started their career in the GES, as have several former Cabinet Secretaries... The Government Economic Service (GES) is one of the Civil Service Professions and is the professional body for economists in the UK Civil Service.
