It covers the period of economic recession (till 1999) and next economic growth (from 2000 till now). In order to evaluate the quality of businessman’s prediction and as results to find out either the data received from the Ukrainian survey is close to economic tendencies it is necessary to compare the data received from the survey with quantitative data of the official statistics.
