Greater Manchester Business Index - September

Join us at our September Greater Manchester Business Index, a partnership between Greater Manchester Chamber and The Growth Company
About this Event

As the Greater Manchester economy continues to outperform the rest of the UK, it’s more important than ever for businesses to understand, interpret, and apply key economic indicators in their strategic planning. With factors such as confidence, inflation, demand, and growth shifting each quarter, we’ve launched the Greater Manchester Business Index, a partnership between Greater Manchester Chamber and The Growth Company.

Each quarter, we’ll take the latest live data, analyse it, and present clear insights back to the business community. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the market you operate in, alongside commentary on the key themes and challenges affecting businesses right now.

Our September session is sponsored by , will explore what we need to hear ahead of the Autumn Statement - what are the business priorities, what are we looking out for and what will be the key drivers for growth?

We'll also be hearing from Lydia Reid, Agent for the North West at the Bank of England. Lydia will provide an update on the UK economic outlook, including the latest Monetary Policy Report, the thinking behind the most recent interest rate decision, developments in inflation, growth and the labour market, and what the Bank of England is hearing from businesses across the North West.

We encourage attendees to submit questions in advance so we can incorporate them into the panel
