Summary

The indicators and analysis presented in this bulletin are based on responses from the new voluntary fortnightly business survey, which captures business’ views on impact on turnover, workforce prices, trade and business resilience

Documentation

Based on user feedback, from Wave 24 the "Business Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Survey" has changed its name to the "Business Insights and Conditions Survey" (BICS). The purpose remains the same, to collect real-time information on important issues such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the end of the EU transition period.

The indicators and analysis presented are based on responses from the voluntary fortnightly business survey, which captures business’ views on impact on turnover, workforce prices, trade and business resilience. Estimates from the Business Insights and Conditions Survey (BICS) are now weighted, with only regional tables unweighted.
