French business climate and turning point indicators –November 2010

According to the business leaders of the main economic sectors, the French business climate remains stable in November 2010. The indicator stays around 104, that is still above its long term average. This hesitant climate is perceptible in nearly all sectors : business leaders’ answers suggest a small decrease in industry, retail and wholesale trade, while building and services sectors only show a very slight improvement.

At the same time, the turning point indicator clearly remains in the favourable zone for more than one year. This shows continuous signs of a coming recovery.
