OECD CLI Business Confidence Ranking

OECD Leading Business Confidence is an indicator that shows how optimistic business executives in OECD member countries are about future economic prospects. Higher values indicate that businesses anticipate economic expansion, signifying favorable economic outlook. Top-ranked countries generally experience steady economic growth, with expectations for increased corporate investment and employment. Conversely, lower-ranked countries show stronger concerns about economic slowdown and may experience declining business investment appetite. Since this indicator often precedes actual economic trends, it serves as an important tool for predicting economic turning points.
