The Reserve Bank of India has been conducting Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF) since September 2007 and consolidated results have been regularly disseminated on the Bank’s website in the form of web-articles. To promote transparency and research initiatives, Reserve Bank of India will now start disseminating the individual respondent-level forecasts from recent rounds of SPF (from round 61 onwards) after anonymising the forecasters’ personally identifiable information¹.

The individual respondent-level data for the survey along with its metadata are available on the Bank’s ‘Database on Indian Economy (DBIE)’ portal (https://data.rbi.org.in/DBIE/#/dbie/home) under the head Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF), in the ‘Unit-level Data’ tab.

To further improve data accessibility and promote research, the aggregated/consolidated SPF data, as published in the web-articles, are also being released in a time series format along with its metadata under the ‘Surveys-Aggregated Data’ section in the ‘Statistics’ tab under the head ‘Survey of Professional Forecasters’ through DBIE.
