​​The Business Tendency Survey is a quarterly survey which provides qualitative information about the Island’s economy in a timely manner.
 
The survey covers private sector businesses in Jersey, and asks chief executives or managing directors of sampled businesses for their opinions on the current situation of their business compared to three months previously, and also for their expectations for the next three months.

In June 2014 the headline all-sector Business Activity Indicator was 15 percentage points (pp), implying that the proportion of businesses in Jersey reporting an increase in business activity compared with three months previously was 15 pp greater than the proportion reporting a decrease.

The all-sector Business Activity Indicator improved in the latest quarter, recording its highest positive level seen since this survey was introduced in 2009.
