HIE Business Panel Surveys
Our Business Panel is a group of businesses and social enterprises from across the region who have agreed to take part in regular surveys for HIE. Each survey includes core questions on economic optimism, business performance and growth aspirations, and also explores relevant topical issues. Panel surveys are undertaken by Ipsos MORI on our behalf.
The surveys help HIE monitor business confidence, economic optimism and identify challenges or opportunities that are currently presenting themselves across the region. As panel membership is representative of the Highlands and Islands business population, it provides a strong evidence base that facilitates robust regional, sub-regional and sectoral analysis.
January 2024
This report, published in January 2024, presents findings from the survey carried out in November and December 2023. As well as tracking business confidence, performance and growth aspirations, it also explores business values, the ways in which businesses are engaging in different strands of community wealth building, immediate priorities and local economic opportunities. The survey also looked at the potential impacts of the import checks on products coming from the EU to the UK which are due to be phased in over 2024.
