Annual Report
06 September 2023
This is the fifth Economic Intelligence Wales Annual report. The report provides a review of economic data relevant to SME development in Wales and a summary of the investment activities of the Development Bank of Wales for the financial year 2022/23. While there appears to have been some improvement in business confidence in the first quarter of 2023 and a strong labour market, business concerns about inflationary pressure still dominate despite falling energy prices as interest rates rise.
