Rand Merchant Bank and the Bureau of Economic Research said their Business Confidence Index (BCI) jumped by 15 points to a level of 43 during the first quarter of 2010.
This was the single biggest increase between two consecutive quarters in 16 years, the survey found. Also, at 43 the BCI was back to the same level which prevailed before the global financial market crisis erupted around 18 months ago.
