United Kingdom CBI Business Optimism Index
The Confederation of British Industry's Industrial Trends Survey publishes the Business Optimism Index in the United Kingdom. Each quarter, an average of 400 manufacturing-related small, medium, and large firms are polled. The Questionnaire collects information on the overall sentiment toward the general and export business situation, investment, capacity, order books, employment, output, stocks, price competitiveness in the domestic, EU, and non-EU markets, as well as innovation and training. A sub-index is calculated for each assessment as the difference between the percentage of positive and negative responses. Following that, the composite index is calculated as the weighted average of the sub-indices. A score of +100 means that all survey respondents are extremely optimistic about the future, while a score of -100 indicates that all survey respondents are extremely pessimistic about the future. Neutrality is indicated by an index level of 0.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the GBP while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the GBP.
