Your input directly influences:
- Business policy and government decisions

The Scottish Chambers of Commerce Quarterly Economic Indicator
The QEI provides critical insights into business confidence, investment, and economic trends, directly influencing government policies, SCC’s business advocacy, and national media coverage. The more businesses that take part, the more powerful the data—and the stronger the voice of Scottish business in shaping policy and support.
Working together with the Chamber Network, the SCC engages with decision-makers to influence policy, ensuring the interests of all businesses are represented.
The QEI focuses on key industrial areas – Manufacturing, Construction, Finance and Business Services, Tourism and Retail, measuring a number of indicators including business optimism, investment and performance to provide comprehensive understanding of the Scottish business landscape.
The QEI is consistently reported across the national media and commented on by senior Scottish business leaders. It plays an essential role in setting the business agenda and informing the most senior levels of government and policy making
Sarah Medcraf, CE, of Moray Chamber said: "We've been collecting this comparable data for many years, but now more than ever we need you to contribute. We are your Chamber and your voice, use us to ensure you are heard."
