Conference Board

The Conference Board is a non-profit organization that provides valuable insights into the economy and business climate through research and data analysis. It produces reports like the Consumer Confidence Index and the Leading Economic Index, which help investors, policymakers, and companies understand economic trends and make informed decisions. Essentially, it acts as an independent source of economic intelligence, assessing how confident consumers and businesses feel about the future, and forecasting potential economic growth or downturns based on current data.
