Quarterly Economic Survey (QES)

The Chamber's Quarterly Economic Survey (QES) is seen as a barometer of business confidence in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Sent out in March, June, September and November each year, the information on business confidence, export and import sales and capacity levels is analysed across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire; by county; by region, and then nationally by British Chambers of Commerce (BCC). It is one of the most respected business surveys by independent economists, the government and the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee.

Results are published through the local media at the end of the research month, and nationally through the BCC website at www.chamberonline.co.uk/.

We also use the Quarterly Economic Survey to ascertain your view on pressing issues such as red tape, skills gaps, transport priorities and proposed new taxation mechanisms such as Workplace parking levies, supplementary business rates and congestion charging. It is also an opportunity for you to shape our lobbying, which helps define the work of the Members' Councils and Forums.

Quarterly Economic Survey - Third Quarter survey

 In this survey, we are seeking your views as to what barriers prevent you from creating jobs and wealth locally and examples of burdensome regulation.  With public expenditure cuts already announced, and more expected in the autumn spending review, we also are asking you to identify which services/ projects you would consider paying for locally, and how this should be raised if additional funding is required from business.

This survey takes approx 4 mins to complete, and is now available to be completed electronically - please click here - and will only be posted-out to members that have not responded online after one week.
