Roubini Global Economics (formerly known as RGE Monitor), is a global economic and financial analysis firm based in New York City. The company also has an office in London.

History

Roubini Global Economics was founded in 2004 by Dr. Nouriel Roubini, former senior adviser to the U.S. Treasury and the International Monetary Fund and a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business and Camille LeBlanc, serial entrepreneur in the digital media sector. Ms LeBlanc was the founding CEO and was responsible for building the initial team and seeding the product in 3,000 accounts in the public and private financial sector. The company re-branded itself as Roubini Global Economics in 2010 and now has offices in New York and London, with a staff of in-house economists and analysts. Dr. Roubini serves as Chairman and Chief Economist, and provides direction to the analytical team.

Acquisitions

In July 2012, Roubini announced that it had acquired Country Insights. In a press release, Nouriel Roubini commented “We believe our clients will find added value in the combination of Country Insights’ systematic country risk approach and Roubini’s macroeconomic strategy analysis”.[1]
