business confidence
Entrepreneurial faith outlook
Business confidence is the degree of optimism or pessimism that business owners and executives feel about economic conditions and their own prospects.
Economists track it through surveys because it influences hiring, investment, and expansion decisions.
Business confidence fell sharply after the announcement of new tariffs.
High business confidence typically correlates with economic growth; low confidence often precedes contraction.
