Latest business and consumer surveys

DG ECFIN conducts regular harmonised surveys. See latest releases, the annual release schedule and subscribe to release alerts below.

Results of ad hoc questions

The February/March 2025 surveys contained additional ‘ad hoc’ questions, investigating (i) the extent to which firms are adjusting their business strategies in response to tensions and policy changes in foreign markets, and (ii) the impact of selected factors on consumers’ views of the economy. A summary of the results at the EU level is included in the Spring 2025 Economic Forecast. A more detailed analysis of the consumer survey results is presented in the 2025Q1 edition of European Business Cycle Indicators (EBCI), and a full analysis of the business survey results will feature in the 2025Q2 EBCI.
