Mozambique Business Confidence
In Mozambique, the Economic Climate Indicator (ECI) measures the level of optimism executives have about current and expected developments in production, sales, employment, inventories, etc. The indicator is based on a sample of around 850 companies from the main sectors of the economy (Wholesale/Retail Sales, Construction, Manufacturing, Transports, Hotels and Restaurants). For each of the indicators measured, the net difference between the number of positive responses and the number of negative responses is computed. The final index (ECI) is then calculated as a simple average of those balances. The ECI value above 100 indicates an improving outlook and a value below 100 indicates a deteriorating outlook.
