East Midlands businesses are seeing slightly better sales activity and cashflow, with more jobs being filled and inflationary pressures easing according to a new regional survey.
New research from East Midlands Chamber suggests firms across Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire are doing better than the national average – but there was a warning that Government should not ruin things with short term fiscal measures in a last ditch bid to try and win the next General Election.
While high inflation, rising interest rates and skills gaps continue to cause concerns for businesses across the UK, the chamber’s latest Quarterly Economic Survey –delivered in partnership with the University of Leicester School of Business – showed pressures easing in many areas of local industry.
