Quarterly Business Report

The Greater Birmingham Quarterly Business Report

The Greater Birmingham Quarterly Business Report (QBR), sponsored by Birmingham City University, provides an up-to-date snapshot of business performance and confidence across the region.

As the most comprehensive regular business survey of its kind in the city region, the QBR offers valuable insight into the trends, opportunities and challenges shaping our local economy. Each quarter, the report tracks key indicators including sales, exports, recruitment and investment intentions, providing businesses, policymakers and stakeholders with an up-to-date picture of economic conditions across Greater Birmingham.

Each report is launched at a dedicated event, bringing together business leaders, policymakers and experts to explore the latest findings and discuss the implications for the local business community.
