The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) released today (April 24) the results of the Quarterly Business Tendency Survey for the second quarter (Q2) of 2026.
Business Situation
For all surveyed sectors taken together, the proportion of respondents expecting their business situation to be better (11%) in Q2 2026 over the preceding quarter is lower than that expecting it to be worse (16%).
The results of the survey should be interpreted with care. In this type of survey on expectations, the views collected in the survey are affected by the events in the community occurring around the time of enumeration, and it is difficult to establish precisely the extent to which respondents’ perception of the future accords with the underlying trends. The enumeration period for this survey round was from March 3, 2026 to April 13, 2026.
