Economic Impact Analysis

Companies may wish to quantify the socioeconomic impact of their current operations or future plans, projects, and investments for various strategic purposes. Industries, through their representative associations, may seek to demonstrate their contribution to the national economy or assess the macro-level implications of regulatory changes on their sectors. On a broader scale, public authorities often require forward-looking analysis to understand the potential economic consequences of strategic decisions or planned legislative changes.

This is where impact analysis comes into play, offering a structured framework to quantify direct, indirect, and induced effects across key indicators such as GDP, value added, employment, foreign trade, and public revenues. Comprehensive in scope, impact analyses can cover economic, social, regional, and environmental dimensions, serving as a valuable evidence base for a wide range of stakeholders while also strengthening strategic decision-making and communication efforts. 

At PwC Türkiye Economic Consulting, we respond to your needs with our technical expertise, leveraged by diverse methodologies and our global network’s experience. We tailor our approach and methodology based on the intended use of the results and offer guidance on how to effectively communicate findings to investors, public authorities, or the general public. We consider impact analysis not only as a set of figures, but as a narrative element that can be embedded into your broader communication goals.
