The Ontario Business
Confidence Index shows
that most Ontario
businesses are confident in their own outlook (72
percent) and are planning to expand over the next five
years (60 percent). However, the same businesses are
unsure about the overall direction of Ontario’s economy–
41 percent express confidence.
The index is a survey of 2,386 businesses and was
conducted as part of Emerging Stronger 2013, a
business-driven economic agenda for Ontario released
today by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, its network
of local chambers, along with their research partner, the
Mowat Centre at the University of Toronto.
