About Chile Business Confidence Index
In Chile, the business confidence index (IMCE, Indicador Mensual de Confianza Empresarial) is based on a survey of about 600 business executives from manufacturing, mining, construction and trade industries. The index measures the level of optimism that executives have about current and expected developments regarding production, demand, inventories, utilization capacity, selling prices, salaries, employment, supply costs and investments. The IMCE also assesses the level of optimism regarding the global performance of the economy and the general business environment. The IMCE is measured on a scale of 0 to 100, where levels above 50 indicate optimism, 50 neutrality and below 50 pessimism.
