Lorenzo Codogno Macro Advisors Ltd (LC-MA) is a London-based consulting firm specializing in macroeconomic analysis, policy consulting, and forecasts, with a distinct emphasis on Eurozone economic developments, the European Central Bank’s monetary policy, and fiscal frameworks within the European Union. Registered on the EU Transparency Register since November 20, 2018, LC-MA positions itself as an independent provider of detailed, clear, and direct research for market participants and policymakers seeking insight into the economic environment of the EU and its member states.
The firm was founded by Lorenzo Codogno, who serves as its chief economist. Mr. Codogno brings extensive experience from previous roles, including Chief Economist and Director-General at the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, where he led macroeconomic analysis, forecasting, and policy design. His background in international finance, public economic governance, and EU-level policy committees informs the rigorous approach of LC-MA. The company’s mission is to equip clients with actionable intelligence relevant to decision-making in a rapidly changing economic and regulatory landscape.
LC-MA’s core activities center around monitoring and analyzing key EU processes—such as the European Semester, fiscal framework reforms, financial stability mechanisms, and broader macroeconomic and financial market trends. Through direct engagement with EU institutions and participation in policy debates, the firm seeks to influence decision-making while providing clients with timely and policy-relevant perspectives. LC-MA’s communication output is regarded for its clarity and focus on topics that drive financial and economic developments in Brussels and across European capitals.
LC-MA maintains a modest footprint as a lobbying entity, with a single part-time lobbyist declared (equivalent to 0.25 FTE). This structure reflects its niche expertise and boutique nature. The majority of its client-facing and representational work is handled personally by Lorenzo Codogno himself, ensuring consistency in research quality and strategic engagements. Since registration, the firm has declared transparent lobbying expenses and participated in at least three high-level meetings with senior officials at the European Commission, focusing on the macroeconomic outlook and fiscal governance matters.
The firm operates chiefly within the category of in-house lobbyists, serving select business, professional, and industry clients. Its base in the United Kingdom underscores its dual focus: providing local knowledge of Brexit-related impacts and keeping close institutional ties to EU developments. The combination of academic affiliation, public sector experience, and market analysis positions LC-MA as a credible voice in EU macroeconomic policy discourse
