The South Yorkshire PolicyPod is a fantastic outlet for you to hear the latest issues affecting the South Yorkshire economy. The podcast is a must listen for those with a finger on the pulse of crucial matters affecting South Yorkshire, whether you are a business based in South Yorkshire, or simply have an interest in policy within the region.

The report findings used in the podcast; the South Yorkshire Quarterly Economic Survey, are used to influence local, regional and national governments and decision makers to help shape the support structures available to the local business community.

At the national level, it’s a leading indicator that picks up big changes in the economy, often before other surveys or official statistics. The influence of the survey is long reaching, impacting The Bank of England’s Monetary Committee, HM Treasury and the independent Office for Budget Responsibility when forecasting the UK’s economic performance.
