The
Alabama Business Confidence Index (ABCI) captures economic expectations for the upcoming quarter from business executives across the state. Using six key indicators and a composite index, the ABCI provides valuable insight into how leaders view Alabama’s economic outlook and how their forecasts compare to their peers. The statewide Q4 report indicates a contractionary outlook, with a score of 49.5, meaning most respondents anticipate a slight decline in economic conditions. In contrast, Birmingham’s outlook shows renewed optimism. After a neutral forecast in Q3 2025, Birmingham’s ABCI climbed 3.8 points to 53.6, signaling a mildly expansionary expectation for the local economy.
