After the second Covid wave, business sentiments recovered in the second quarter of 2021-22, compared to those prevailing in the preceding three months, NCAER said. The BCI increased by 90% on a quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) basis and by about 80% on a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis, it added.
“The BCI is also higher than what it was in 2019-20:Q2, signalling an improvement in sentiment over the pre-pandemic period,” it said. National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) carried out its 118th Round of its Business Expectations Survey (BES) in September 2021. It has been carrying out the BES on a quarterly basis since 1991, covering 500 firms across four regions. — PTI
