Pulse Survey Reports
The Pulse Survey
The CCIQ Suncorp Pulse Survey of Business Conditions is the largest survey of Queensland businesses, providing critical insights into the sentiment of business owners and managers across the state.
Pulse includes detailed measurements on employment levels, turnover and business profitability – knowledge that adds a great degree of confidence to the strategic planning and future investment decisions of your business.
SEPTEMBER 2020
The results of the latest CCIQ Pulse Survey have recorded an
improvement which builds on the recovery from the COVID-19
Economic Crisis. While business sentiment has improved
across the board, confidence in the future economic outlook
remains poor, especially for the Queensland economy. Persistent
pessimism across these indicators stems mostly from the
significant reliance of many small businesses on state and federal
stimulus measures and a lack of foreseeable action on social
distancing restrictions. Entering into the December quarter,
businesses across the Wide Bay Burnett (WBB) region are being
forced to adapt to the ‘new norm’ where economic activity is
better than at the COVID-19 peak but well short of normal and
sustainable business activity.
JUNE 2020
The latest results from the Suncorp CCIQ Pulse Survey for the June quarter 2020 have indicated a slight improvement on the
March quarter despite conditions and performance continuing to remain very poor.
The results for the June quarter continue to reflect the devastating impact that COVID-19 has had on Queensland businesses
during the March quarter 2020. General business conditions and trading performance have been impacted by business restrictions
(commencing 18th of March) which prevented viable trade for the majority of Queensland businesses during the June quarter.
Especially in April, during the height of the social distancing guidelines and forced business closures, business revenues collapsed.
