The Survey consists of questions on several topics, including sales, overseas orders, manufacturing, employment and recruitment and business confidence, and is used to give a general overview and insight into the local economy and how businesses are operating.
The media also relies on these reports to highlight business concerns and challenges, providing a broader perspective on how businesses are managing, or struggling to manage, these issues.
