Business Impacts and Conditions Survey (BICS) – Weighted Scotland Estimates

BICS is a voluntary fortnightly business survey which captures rapid data on businesses' responses on how their turnover, workforce, prices, trade and business resilience have been affected by current conditions, including the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the end of the EU transition period. The estimates are for businesses with a presence in Scotland and that have 10 or more employees. Most recent data was published on 12 November, and focuses on businesses' responses from Wave 7 to Wave 42 of the survey.

Specific data that may be of interest to the Committee include:

• tables on business trading, turnover performance, and turnover expectations, which are disaggregated to Food & Beverage Services to reflect conditions in the broader sector which includes segments of the night-time economy; and
• data on Covid safety measures, including customer vaccination checks, which are available across economic sectors and disaggregated to Food & Beverage Services.
