Results of the IEER SME Outlook Survey April 2016

The results of the latest IEER SME Outlook business climate survey reveal more favourable economic conditions compared to the previous quarter: the Business Climate Index increased from 25 to 31 points, which is the highest value since the beginning of the research (January 2005). This value is far higher than the one in April 2015 (23 points). The Uncertainty Index is at a current level of 37 points, which is almost the same as the value measured in the preceding quarter (it was 38 points in April 2015). The value of the Uncertainty Index indicates that the current trend is not uniform within the private sector, and that it will continue to be confined to one part of the economy and will not be felt by all small and medium sized companies.
