Economy and Public Finances

The British Chambers of Commerce frequently comment on the latest economic data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), and also publish our own economic outputs on behalf of the Chamber network.

DHL/BCC Trade Confidence Index

The DHL/BCC Trade Confidence Index (TCI) is a measure of the UK’s exporting health. Through analysis of trends in trading activity and key factors of exporting firms’ performance, the TCI gives a truly comprehensive picture of the UK’s internationally trading business community. Indicators include those relating to employment, investment and confidence, as well as painting a picture of regional exporting performance.

 

 

Quarterly Economic Survey

The British Chambers of Commerce Quarterly Economic Survey is the largest and most representative independent business survey of its kind in the UK covering a substantial percentage of small businesses and the subsidiaries of large businesses.

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.
