Activity & Production - Global - OECD - Business Confidence Index

This dataset includes the monthly Business Confidence Index for countries, as published by the OECD. This index provides information on future developments, based upon opinion surveys on developments in production, orders and stocks of finished goods in the industry sector. It can be used to monitor output growth and to anticipate turning points in economic activity. Numbers above 100 suggest an increased confidence in near future business performance, and numbers below 100 indicate pessimism towards future performance.
