Description:

The West Midlands Regional Integrated Economic Assessment (RIEA) is a synthesis of existing data and evidence across a wide range of themes and covering all local areas in the West Midlands region. It was developed by identifying, collating, integrating, analysing and interpreting existing information. It was prepared by the Observatory in collaboration with staff from the Region’s 14 strategic local authorities. The RIEA constitutes an important first step in the longer term iterative development of the evidence base for the single integrated regional strategy.

The RIEA was commissioned from the Observatory by the Regional Forum of Leaders (RFL) in partnership with Advantage West Midlands (AWM), as a joint response to the requirements of the Sub-​national Review of Economic Development & Regeneration (SNR).

This document provides the executive summary of the RIEA. The remainder contains three distinct elements: An overarching regional summary; 3 Thematic chapters (Economic Structure and Output, Communities and Connections, The People of the Region); and local authority area profiles for each of the 14 strategic authorities.
