QES

The QES is Britain’s largest and longest running business survey. It is a powerful tool for representing the voice of business to Government; the results are analysed and used by Cornwall Chamber of Commerce at a local level, and nationally through the British Chambers of Commerce.

The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee uses the QES as one of its key benchmarks when setting interest rates.

HM Treasury and the independent Office for Budget Responsibility use the QES to put together their forecasts for the UK’s economic performance.

The European Commission uses the QES to assess the health of the UK economy when it makes policy recommendations for both Westminster and Brussels.
