About The South Yorkshire Quarterly Economic Surveys
 
Every three months, the South Yorkshire Chambers — those being the respective networks for Doncaster, Sheffield and Barnsley & Rotherham — conduct a major survey gauging how their members feel about current business conditions, as well as the broader state of the economy.
 
In addition to providing a snapshot of these more general sentiments, the questionnaires will always take a deep dive into a specific issue that’s of particular relevance to the business community; whether that’s recruitment, transport infrastructure, the cost of living, or the implications of AI.  
 
The results from this will then go on to inform the various advocacy & campaigning activities of the SY Chambers, as they strive to better represent their members. They will also being used to influence the decision-making of those with the power to enact meaningful change in our region.
 
The polls conducted in South Yorkshire also go on to feed into the nationwide Quarterly Economic Survey (QES), which is itself the largest and most representative independent business survey of its kind in the UK. For this reason, it is closely watched by policymakers such as the Treasury, the Bank of England, the Office of Budget Responsibility, the EU Commission and the IMF.
