Cleveland Fed’s Business Outlook and Trends Survey Now Open

April 30, 2025

The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, in partnership with the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber, invites for-profit businesses across the region to participate in the 2025 Business Outlook and Trends Survey (BOTS), now open through May 12, 2025.

This short, five-minute survey gives business owners and key decisionmakers the opportunity to share data that directly informs the Fed, service providers, policymakers and community stakeholders on economic changes, which in turn will benefit their business and others.

The analysis disseminated through the Cleveland Fed and its partners will provide businesses with intelligence on demand for regional goods and services, labor markets, prices and costs, which they can use to inform their decision-making process.

“The survey is an important tool that ensures the voices of businesses in the Mahoning Valley are heard,” said Guy Coviello, president & CEO of the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber. “By participating, business leaders contribute real-time, anecdotal data that can influence decisions at the highest levels—data that will also be shared locally to help inform economic development efforts.”

Survey responses are confidential, and no personal information is required.

Businesses that complete the survey may also choose to sign up for additional opportunities to provide feedback through future surveys conducted by the Cleveland Fed.

The deadline to complete the survey is May 12, 2025. Take the survey at https://bit.ly/4jS39hV.
