British Chambers of Commerce Quarterly Economic Survey now available
The Quarterly Economic Survey (QES) is the UK’s largest private quarterly survey of business. Each quarter, over 5,000 businesses – belonging to Chambers of Commerce in every region of the country – participate in the QES. Businesses are questioned on a wide range of issues, including: home sales and orders, export sales and orders, employment prospects, investment, recruitment difficulties, cashflow, confidence and price pressures.
The QES is the first economic indicator of the quarter, published in advance of official figures and other private surveys, and it consistently mirrors trends in the national economy. For this reason the survey is closely watched by policymakers such as the Treasury and the Bank of England, and also by the media. The latest survey is attached.
