Sheffield City Region Quarterly Economic Review

ership between the SCR Local Enterprise Partnership, the region’s four Chambers and the University of Sheffield Management School, all sponsored by RBS. The results will be published each quarter in short reports to give a snapshot on the region’s overarching economy, skills and labour and international trade and export. There will also be free breakfast seminar scheduled at the end of each quarter to hear the results first. The Quarterly Economic Survey, run by the British Chambers, is the country’s biggest and longest running private sector survey which acts as an economic indicator, often highlighting big changes in the economy long before other surveys or other official statistics. The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee use the QES as a key benchmark when setting interest rates.
