The balance of opinion on the felt economic uncertainty has increased slightly: the corresponding balance has gone back above its average.
The opinion on demand is almost unchanged
In March 2024, the balance of opinion regarding the level of building construction managers’ order books has fell slightly and stands right above its long term average.
Given their staff size, building contractors have estimated that their order books provide them with 8.4 months of work, an almost stable duration when compared to that of the previous month.
The production capacity utilisation rate has decreased slightly
In March 2024, the production capacity utilisation rate has dropped back: at 90.3%, it remains nevertheless above its long term average (89.0%).
42% of companies have reported to be at the limit of their production capacity (production bottlenecks), that is to say that they could not produce more with their current means if they were to receive more orders. This share, stable since January, remains clearly above its long term average (34%). 18% of business managers considered themselves unable to increase their production in case of additional orders due to workforce shortage and 3% due to supply difficulties. The latter proportion now stands right at the level of its long term average.
Slightly less business managers than in the previous month have reported facing obstacles limiting their production. At 61%, this share stands below its long term average. The proportion of business managers who declared facing a workforce shortage has diminished slightly (33%) but remains well above its long term average.
The balance of opinion on expected prices has dropped marginally
The balance of opinion on expected prices over the next three months has dropped back slightly but remains at a high level, significantly above its long term average.
