What Does a Chief Economist Do?

The chief economist system is an institutional arrangement of a high-level decision-making consultancy widely adopted by some international organizations, government agencies, and commercial companies. This system is not only conducive to improving the support effect of the internal decision-making efficiency of the organization (institution), but also to promote the social image of the organization (institution). The chief economist not only provides his research results to the units he employs, but also is often active in various economic and financial forums, and spreads his economic and financial views and analysis and judgment of market trends to the market and society through the media. In western developed countries and China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, many commercial banks, investment banks, and even economic departments and agencies of the government have chief economists.
