Ever thought about how businesses feel about the local economy and business environment, what sectors are growing and what’s not, the level of business confidence, the overall performance of the local economy, etc?  IS THE RECESSION OVER AND ITS IMPACT????

As part of our ongoing research into the economic and business trends and conditions, we would appreciate your participation in this survey of business and economic trends and confidence in your region. The survey is anonymous and thus 100% confidential.

This survey will be conducted on an annual basis and forms part of a larger project that aims to publish an Economic and Business Report for your region on a semi-annual basis.  

The aim of the report is to gain a better understanding of the economic and business environment and trends of your region. The reports are very popular and very much in demand.  The past reports can be obtained by sending an email to ecoreports@gmail.com.  If you would like to receive monthly economic and business statistics and papers, specifically about the KZN economy please also send me an email. 

In keeping with modern trends and to make this process easy for you, we have moved the survey to an electronic medium. Please complete the following questionnaire while online (+- 5 minutes) at
