Roubini Global Economics (abbreviated as RGE), initially known as RGE Monitor, was a specialized economic advisory firm focused on financial analysis.
History
The company was launched in 2004 by Nouriel Roubini, who previously held senior advisory roles at the U.S. Treasury and the International Monetary Fund, and was a professor at NYU's Stern School of Business. He co-founded the firm alongside Camille LeBlanc, an entrepreneur in digital media. LeBlanc acted as the first CEO, assembling the founding team and acquiring a client base of 3,000 accounts spanning both public institutions and private financial organizations. In 2010, the business underwent a rebranding to become Roubini Global Economics.
Despite its growth, by 2011 RGE had yet to achieve profitability. Roubini highlighted the importance of maintaining reliable economic forecasts rather than relying on previous achievements. In July 2012, the firm broadened its capabilities through the acquisition of Country Insights.
Roubini Global Economics ultimately ended its operations in 2016.
