“The TEC CEO Confidence Survey measures both current performance and future prospects. It is a barometer for the overall economy as well as for individual companies. It gives almost a real-time reading on what business leaders are thinking in Canada’s small to medium-sized business sector.”
– Dr. Peter Andersen, Economist, on the TEC Canada CEO Confidence Index.
The TEC Canada CEO Confidence Index is a quarterly survey measuring the confidence of Canadian business leaders of small-to-medium enterprises. The results provide insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by leaders and their confidence in the Canadian business environment. The TEC Canada members surveyed are CEOs and business owners of predominantly small-to-medium enterprises with employees primarily between 50 to 500 and annual revenue of between $1 million to $500 million.
The TEC Canada CEO Confidence Index Q4 2020 was conducted from September 15th, 2020 to September 30th, 2020, and had over 200 Canadian participants in the research.
