Abstract
Methods and apparatus for determining a value of a commercial market that can be supported by an electronic payment solution, forecasting a growth of the commercial market, and using the commercial expenditure value are disclosed. The value of the commercial market can be estimated using auditable economic data that forms part of a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) calculation. The commercial market can be estimated using intermediate inputs, inventory purchase, private fixed investments, and government expenditures. A market growth can then be estimated from the commercial expenditure value and other economic data. The commercial expenditure value can be used in a number of resource allocation and market solution processes.
