For the South African market, the BER Business Confidence Index surveys 1,400 business people in the building industry, 1,400 business people in the trade sector, and 1,000 business people in the manufacturing sector. It measures the amount of optimism that senior executives in the companies have in the present and future sales, orders, employment, inventories, and selling prices. The index is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, with 0 representing a great lack of confidence, 50 representing neutrality, and 100 representing extreme confidence.

A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the ZAR while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the ZAR.
