Overview
In August 2016, together with academics from Stanford University and the University of Nottingham, the Bank of England set up the Decision Maker Panel (DMP) survey to help monitor developments in the UK economy and to track businesses’ expectations and the uncertainties surrounding them.1 The responses from the DMP survey are a valuable source of information, complementing the intelligence gathered from Agents’ contacts.2
This box summarises results from the surveys conducted between February and April, focussing on Brexit-related uncertainty and its determinants. Around 8,000 businesses had agreed to be part of the panel at the time of the April 2019 survey with around 3,000 responses a month being received.
