Modeling approach / Market size:

As a basis for evaluating markets, we use market research & analysis, and data from European central banks, World Bank, national central bank statistics, and international organizations, such as OECD, and publicly available databases. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, namely gross domestic product (GDP), consumer price index(CPI), lending interest rate, central bank interest rate, employment rate, secured overnight financing rate (SOFR), and tax rates. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the particular market. In the market, we use the HOLT-damped Trend and ARIMA methods to forecast future development. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer price index (CPI), and central bank interest rate.
