Much of the writing in economics and finance is highly scrutinised and regulated, and there may be limits on what writers can assert and how they can distribute their writing.

Take care with the following:

• Disclaimers, disclosures and legal advice. Some publications must be accompanied by disclaimers or disclosure text, which discusses the risk factors and limitations of the analysis. You may need to obtain legal advice before distributing your publication, and the audience approved to receive the publication may be governed by particular regulations.
• Requirements around publication timing. There may be legal or regulatory requirements for the timing of publications (eg deadlines by which information must be released, blackout periods during which particular information may not be published).
