THE BUSINESS CONFIDENCE INDEX (BCI)

The LMD-PEPPERCUBE Business Confidence Index (BCI) is the only measure of corporate sentiment in Sri Lanka. LMD published the unique index in collaboration with NielsenIQ since 1997, serving as a one of a kind gauge of business confidence for over two decades. In December 2023, following NielsenIQ’s exit from Sri Lanka, the collaboration shifted to PepperCube Consultants, which conducts an exclusive poll for LMD based on a survey of 100 business-people in Colombo. The poll gathers their responses to a series of questions about the business environment and expectations in order to compile the monthly index.
