Financial Research Analyst - Enhanced Country Analysis DepthThe Country Economic Profile and Country-Sector Analysis macro workflows have been significantly upgraded to produce more analytically rigorous, research-grade reports.
Country Economic Profile Enhancements
- Structural & Historical Context: New research steps and output sections covering sector transformation over time, labor productivity by sector, and structural narrative.
- Debt & Fiscal Mechanics: Added search steps and reporting for debt composition (domestic vs external), debt servicing costs, public financial management (PFM) reforms, and Tax-to-GDP ratio analysis with peer comparisons.
- Substantive Labor Market Coverage: Expanded from headline figures to include informality, underemployment, youth unemployment, real wages vs productivity, and sectoral employment gaps.
- FDI Trajectory: New section covering foreign direct investment inflows/outflows, sector and source breakdowns, and outlook drivers.
- Dedicated Policy Recommendations: A required, structured section with recommendations across fiscal consolidation, debt management, monetary policy, and structural reforms — with sourced targets where available.
- Audience Suitability: Reports now adapt depth for academic/research, development finance, and investor audiences.
Country-Sector Analysis Enhancements
- Per-Company Analysis Blocks: Each selected company now receives its own dedicated subsection with investment view, strengths, risks, and catalysts — no more merged company overviews.
- Neutral / Hold / Watch Category: A new classification tier ensures every company selected for analysis appears in the investment recommendations, even when they don’t fit as top picks or areas to avoid.
Financial Research Analyst v1.0.0 - Macro Economics WorkflowsThe Financial Research Analyst skill has been expanded with a new Macro Economics analysis category, complementing the existing Public Company workflows (Company Briefs, Earnings Previews, Earnings Digests, and Risk Assessments).
New Macro Economics Workflows
- Sector Analysis: Analyze sector performance, valuations, key themes, sub-industry breakdowns, and upcoming catalysts across GICS sectors.
- Country Economic Profile: Assess a country’s economic health including GDP, inflation, monetary policy, labor market, fiscal position, and market implications for equities, fixed income, and currencies.
- Country-Sector Analysis: Combine a country’s macroeconomic backdrop with sector-specific analysis, covering policy environment, sector leaders, and investment implications (e.g., “US Technology”, “India Financials”).
- Cross-Sector Comparison: Compare sectors on valuations, earnings growth, and sentiment with economic cycle positioning and rotation recommendations.
- Thematic Research: Analyze macro investment themes such as AI, energy transition, deglobalization, and interest rates with sector and geographic impact matrices.
- Regional Comparison: Compare G7/G20 economies across growth, policy, valuations, currency, and cross-asset views with allocation recommendations.
Additional Improvements
- Intelligent routing between Public Company and Macro Economics workflows based on user requests.
- Professional output templates with source attribution for all macro workflows.
- Fallback search strategies when specific tools are unavailable.
