Canadian Business Barometer October 2009

CFIB’s Business Barometer® Index dropped to 67.0 in October, from 68.7 a month earlier.   Measured on a scale between 0 and 100,  an index level above 50 means owners expecting their business’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance.  According to past results, index levels normally range between 65 and 75 when the economy is growing.
