Sensis® Business Index
The quarterly Sensis® Business Index has been tracking SME confidence and behaviour since February 1995. It surveys 1,800 metropolitan and regional SMEs from areas such as manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, hospitality, construction, communication, property, business services, health, community services, cultural and recreational industries.
Its primary objectives are to:
- track SME activity over the past quarter
- track expectations over both the current three and 12-month periods, and
- measure overall SME confidence.
Its secondary objective is providing an independent, objective assessment of the experiences and attitudes of SMEs on key issues.
