The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) conducts market perception surveys every two months to obtain feedback on:

• The performance of the economy.
• Perceptions by the private sector on access to credit from commercial banks.
• Response by the private sector to Monetary Policy Committee decisions.

The results of the survey, which are aggregated without any regard to institutional or individual identity, inform the MPC on the appropriate economic and financial policy options to be explored. Furthermore, all information is treated with utmost confidentiality.
