ABCI ™
Welcome to the Alabama Business Confidence Index™ (ABCI). The ABCI measures economic expectations for the upcoming quarter gathered from a broad group of business executives across the state. With six key indicators and a composite index, panelists can take the pulse of the state’s economy as well as compare their own forecasts to those of their peers.
Take the 1st Quarter 2025 Survey, open December 1-15.
