DATA FOR GOOD

Data is the key to positive global change_

The idea of “Data for Good” reflects Fable’s belief that accurate, real-time transaction data should always be used when determining economic policies.

We help make this possible by gifting our data to those in government, academia and research who make the kinds of decisions that can affect all of our lives.

Impeccable Credentials

Fable is relied upon by respected global organizations including the IMF, the Bundesbank and HM Treasury.

For decades, governments have had to rely on out-of-date intelligence to inform vital national and regional decision-making. Fable’s ambition is to transform this process by providing the next generation of economic statistics.

We do this on a pro bono basis in the knowledge that a better-informed economy is a better-managed economy. That means our society as a whole benefits too.

“The work that Fable does has enormous private and public value. But this is only possible and sustainable if respect for data security and personal privacy is at the heart of all that they and their partners do. That is why high standards of compliance and data security are absolutely central to Fable’s business and its values.”

Rt Hon. David Laws, Former UK Government Minister

“The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has used Fable data to help support questions in a wide range of policy areas. The speed of delivery allows us to get insight into rapidly evolving policy questions in real time, while the granularity of the transaction data enables us to understand the underlying drivers of changes in spending trend”
