The April 2024 NABE Business Conditions Survey report presents the responses of 49 NABE members to a survey conducted April 1-9, 2024, on business conditions in their firms or industries, and reflects first-quarter 2024 results and the near-term outlook.



COMMENTS: “The April 2024 Business Conditions Survey results suggest a still-strong business environment, with more respondents than in the January survey reporting rising sales and profit margins in the previous three months,” said NABE President Ellen Zentner, chief U.S. economist, Morgan Stanley. “However, fewer panelists than in January expect their firms’ sales or profit margins to increase in the next three months.”

“The results also suggest that inflation is still with us, but may be easing,” added NABE Business Conditions Survey Chair Carlos Herrera, chief economist, Coca-Cola North America. “Almost two-thirds of panelists expect prices charged to remain unchanged in the next three months.”
