The Conseil d'analyse économique (CAE) carries out, in complete independence, economic analyses for the government and makes them public. It examines questions submitted by the Prime Minister and by the Minister of Economy and Finance, and may undertake on its own initiative the prospective analysis of economic questions that it considers relevant to the conduct of the country's economic policy. It is composed of university economists and recognized researchers.
Placed under the authority of the Prime Minister, the Conseil d'analyse économique's mission is "to enlighten the government's choices in economic matters by comparing points of view and analyses".
