Roubini Global Economics (RGE), formerly RGE Monitor, was a small economic consultancy for financial analysis.

History

Roubini Global Economics was founded in 2004 by Nouriel Roubini, former senior adviser for one year in the U.S. Treasury and briefly to the International Monetary Fund and a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, and Camille LeBlanc, a serial entrepreneur in the digital media sector. The company re-branded itself as Roubini Global Economics in 2010.

As of 2011, the firm was not profitable. Roubini said: "The most important thing in this kind of business is that you have to be right day in and day out. The fact that I made a right call a few years ago doesn’t matter." In July 2012, RGE announced that it had acquired Country Insights.

Roubini closed the firm in 2016.
