In a 24-month range, the forecast is very close to the actual price trend. The model predicted two years ahead the deep dip in 2009 and 2011 as well as the increase during the
autumn 2012.The Bright Market Insight is produced in close collaboration with academia and the forest products industry. The editorial staff are very professional and experienced business journalists around the world.The Bright Market Insight will also cooperate with Papernet/Nordic Paper Journal.
