Market and Economy Development
Economic policy research, market systems diagnostics and trade facilitation analysis for public and private clients.
Understanding markets. Unlocking enterprise. Expanding economic opportunity.
Through market assessments, product testing, liberalization and privatization, enterprise and competitiveness studies, financial sector deepening, exchange rate reform, fiscal consolidation, PFM reforms, and livelihood assessments, and broader economic analysis, we examine where value is created, who participates, what drives demand and supply, and where businesses and households face barriers to growth. Our work goes beyond describing markets. We identify opportunities, bottlenecks, market failures, investment potential, and pathways for inclusive growth, helping governments, development partners, investors, and businesses make evidence-based decisions. By bringing together Ground-Truth Intelligence, enterprise evidence, market data, and field-level perspectives, we turn complex economic realities into practical insights that can support stronger businesses, better-functioning markets, productive livelihoods, and sustainable investment.
Our Approach & Methodology
BAN-DRCE begins with the fundamental market and economic question then matches the analytical techniques and expertise to client needs to provide lasting demand derive solution. We use market mapping, value chain analysis, supply-and-demand assessment, enterprise segmentation, market sizing, price and cost analysis, profitability assessment, financial access diagnostics, livelihood analysis, and economic or econometric analysis, supported by primary and secondary data. Depending on the assignment, we apply descriptive and comparative analysis, statistical and econometric modelling, regression analysis, market segmentation, profitability and financial analysis, and impact evaluation to examine household, enterprise, system, sectoral prioritization, market stabilization, and market-level outcomes. We combine primary and secondary evidence from businesses, households, producers, consumers, markets, and institutions to generate practical insights for policy, programme design, investment, and private-sector development.
