DELIVERED BY SCOTTISH CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FRASER OF ALLANDER INSTITUTE, THE QEI IS A TRUSTED SOURCE OF BUSINESS INSIGHT USED TO BRIEF MINISTERS, INFORM POLICY, AND GUIDE FUNDING DECISIONS.
By completing the QEI, you are giving government and stakeholders a clearer picture of what businesses are facing today and what support is needed.
Within this survey, there are Moray-specific questions including the dualling of the A96, understanding your biggest challenges, and key infrastructure areas currently constraining your business. Your responses will help Moray Chamber understand how to best support your business.
The survey takes just 3 minutes. As a thank you, you’ll be entered into a draw to win a £100 voucher or donate it to a charity of your choice.
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 survey is the longest running data series of its kind, which in turns provides a regular and respected insight into the fortunes of key Scottish sectors.
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.
"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."
