In July, the D.C. Policy Center’s Rivlin Initiative distributed the third round of the Quarterly Business Sentiments Survey. The goal of the survey is to supply systematic, comprehensive information on the business community’s experiences to elected officials, the media, and the public. Questions center on the overall business climate, barriers to growth, and economic expectations. This report outlines the results of the 2024 Quarter 3 survey.
The next round of the Business Sentiments Survey will open mid-January. Check back for updates.
The D.C. Policy Center’s Alice Rivlin Initiative on Economic Policy & Competitiveness has launched the Quarterly Business Sentiments Survey. This survey will supply systematic, comprehensive information on the business community’s experiences to elected officials, the media, and the public. Questions will center on overall business climates, barriers to growth, and business-related interactions with government.
Using the survey’s results, the Rivlin Initiative will offer actionable insights to steer policies in productive directions. The D.C. Policy Center will only publish trends and aggregate-level results; we will never share individual responses or publish results that can be linked to a particular business.
Create real-time information. Your responses will help provide systematic, comprehensive information on what the business community is experiencing to elected officials, the media, and the community.
Contribute to informed decision-making. What we learn from you will provide actionable insights to steer policies in productive directions going forward.
No more than 20 minutes. You can participate on your phone or your computer. The next round of the survey will open on October 15, 2024.
Four times a year. Questions will focus on topics such as the overall business climate, barriers to growth, and business-related interactions with government.
All businesses are invited to participate. Any business—currently or previously located in the D.C. region—is strongly encouraged to complete the survey.
Someone knowledgeable about your business. Those who fill out the survey should be well informed about the overall business outlook and your business’s high-level decisions.
The next round of the Business Sentiments will open in mid-January. Check back for the link to participate.
