When Bloomberg News compiles its quarterly scorecard of the world’s sharpest economic minds, a familiar name keeps surfacing. For more than a decade, Jason Schenker has been a fixture near the top of those rankings — and the latest results through the end of Q3 2026 confirm that run is far from over.
Bloomberg News Recognizes Jason Schenker Among the World's Most Accurate Forecasters
Austin, TX — Prestige Economics announced this month that Bloomberg News once again ranked economist, futurist, and bestselling author Jason Schenker among the world’s most accurate forecasters, citing his standout precision in foreign exchange and economic forecasting through the end of Q3 2026.

Bloomberg’s rankings are built on a straightforward but demanding metric: they compare the real-world accuracy of economists and financial market forecasters globally over set measurement windows. It’s not about who has the boldest call — it’s about who gets it right, quarter after quarter.
For the period ending Q3 2026, Bloomberg issued multiple top global rankings for Schenker’s FX forecasts at Prestige Economics, based on projections made over the preceding four quarters:
- #3 Brazilian Real Forecaster in the World.
- #4 Indian Rupee Forecaster in the World.
- #2 Hungarian Forint Forecaster in the World.
- #4 EUR/HUF Forecaster in the World.
- #2 EUR/CZK Forecaster in the World.
The recognition didn’t stop at currencies. Bloomberg also ranked Schenker’s work on key U.S. economic indicators through Q3 2026, drawing on forecasts from the prior 12 months:
- #3 U.S. Personal Income Forecaster in the World.
A proven, long-term record of accuracy
This isn’t a one-off achievement. Schenker has worked as a professional economist for more than 20 years, and Bloomberg has consistently placed him at the top of its forecast accuracy charts across foreign exchange, commodities, and economic indicators. Since 2011, Prestige Economics forecasts produced by Schenker have earned Bloomberg rankings in 52 distinct categories — including the #1 spot worldwide in 36 of them.
“Bloomberg’s independent forecast rankings for Prestige Economics are especially meaningful because they measure forecasting accuracy against other professional forecasters over time,” said Schenker, who serves as President of Prestige Economics. “These rankings reflect the commitment that Prestige Economics and I have for helping clients navigate uncertainty with precision and actionable insights.”
The latest Bloomberg results extend a long thread of independent validation for Schenker’s work on currencies and macroeconomic indicators, underscoring the practical value Prestige Economics brings to clients facing economic and financial volatility.
