Business Barometer ® National small business confidence kicks-off 2010 on a positive note
Business confidence among Canada’s small and medium-sized businesses made up for some lost ground in January, providing further evidence of continuing modest growth in the economy. According to the latest business confidence survey findings from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), the Business Barometer® index rose to 66.9 in January, up from last month’s index score of 63.7 and nearing levels seen in the September-to-November 2009 period.
