Orbis Global

Essential infrastructure for Business and Economics research. The Orbis Global and Belfirst data warehouses encompass financial, accounting, social balance and governance data. The Orbis Global and Bel-first databases are used as the primary data in the field of Business and Economics. When investigating firm behaviors and actions, scholars always need basic knowledge about their financial figures (profitability, growth, assets, liabilities, etc.). Therefore, these Orbis Global and Belfirst databases are always used as the primary data source to which scholars add more specific data (survey-based data, data collected from more specific databases such as investors data).
