Suffolk's Economic Context & Annual Business Survey

Understanding the local, national and international economic environment in which our industries operate is critical if we are to ensure public sector programmes of support and investment best target business needs and deliver value for money.

Suffolk Growth collates data and information from a range of sources setting out the context, opportunities and challenges for our economy – Examples of this are included below, along with the results of our annual survey of businesses from 2021 and 2022.
