45 Appendix Global Trade Index Forecasting Methodology METHODOLOGY Used: While predicting the Global trade index, we follow the following steps as mentioned below: a. LOGEST Calculation: a. Apply LOGEST Formula (=Logest (Historical Data Range)-) to the historical data of trade, GDP, Domestic and foreign market, until the latest available quarter b. From the derived LOGEST value, predict the next quarter data by multiplying it with the previous quarter and adding the factor into the previous quarter data b. Adjustment Factor Calculation: a. Calculate the variance of prediction against the actual for last 4 quarters and calculate the average variance b. Multiply the average variance % with the predicted figures to get the adjusted forecasting c. Finally, predict the Global trade index based on the adjusted figures Global Trade Flow Index Q4 edition Copyright Capgemini. All rights reserved. 4

46 Variance between Actual vs. Predicted values as per LOGEST method High level of accuracy observed in 4 Quarters prediction done using LOGEST method, showing variance between to 7% from the actual which is within the forecast tolerance level of + or -%.
