Collier County Executive Business Climate Survey Second Quarter 2022 Report

The RERI has published the Collier County Executive Business Climate Survey Report for the second quarter of 2022.  The goal of the survey is to capture the assessment of and expectations for the local economy, the workforce, and industry of business owners in Collier County. 

The RERI uses this information to create the Executive Business Climate Index for Collier County, which FGCU has been tracking since the first quarter of 2020.  The index takes on a value between 0 and 100, with 0 meaning the economy is substantially worse and 100 indicating the economy is substantially better.  The index slipped for the third consecutive quarter to 64.3 in the second quarter of 2022, down 0.4 points from the previous quarter.  The index was 9.2 points below the second quarter 2021 measure.

The survey also features a set of special topic questions that change each month.  The goal of these questions is to learn more about business owner perspectives on more current events.  Special topic questions in the latest survey focused on the effects of rising prices on businesses.

A copy of the latest report can be found below.  To learn more about the reports we publish, please visit the research page of our website!
