Business Confidence Index Q3 2023

The Savanta Business Confidence Index saw a decline this quarter, from 39 in Q2 2023 to 37 in Q3 2023, although this is not significant. Confidence is now only slightly higher than it was during the first lockdown in Q2 2020, when it plunged to 35. High levels of insolvency and bankruptcy are clearly taking their toll and having a negative impact on the overall Business Confidence Index.
