Contact us! FAQ on PEO® Is PEO® new? No, Prognos Economic Outlook® has been around for over 60 years – just in different forms and under different names. In the past, there were comprehensive reports and volumes of tables; later, CD-ROMs and USB sticks; then a database. The core, however, has always remained the same: in-depth data analyses, time series and forecasts covering 600 demographic and macroeconomic variables for most countries worldwide.What’s new with the relaunch (August 2026) is the way the data is presented: together with our partner 23grad, we are now making PEO® accessible to everyone in a user-friendly, interactive format that’s easy to use and adapt. How often are updates released? The relaunch, featuring a new look, took place in August 2026. In future, updates will be issued twice a year – in April and October. As new official data and statistics, which form the basis for PEO®, become available, we update our models and assessments and make them available online straight away. Where can I buy PEO® or take out a subscription? A great deal of work has gone into developing this. Regular updates, model maintenance and further development take time and money. Nevertheless, the basic features of the PEO® can be used free of charge. Everything available at app.23degrees.com may be used.
