For 4Q18, 57 industry leaders participated.

In this latest edition, the ICTYL showed a slight growth when it stood at 101.2113 points, from the 100.92 points it had placed in 3Q18. This initiative began in 2018 by recording the behavior of confidence in the business sector, measuring the behavior of the quarter that has just ended, as well as the perspective of the quarter that is in progress.
