                     This index reflects firms' mean subjective expectations about the
                     growth of their own sales over the next 12 months. The index can
                     respond to news about the overall economy, changes in business
                     sentiment, policy developments, stock market moves, interest rate
                     changes, and changes in the outlook of firms in the sample. The
                     expectations index captures the expected direction and magnitude of
                     each change for sample firms.
