Business managers’ opinion on their past activity deteriorates sharply
In August 2019, far fewer business managers than in the previous month have indicated an increase in their activity over the last three months. The corresponding balance has slipped back sharply and has returned to its June 2019 level, nevertheless above its long-term average. However, business managers are more optimistic about their activity prospects: the balance of opinion on expected activity has recovered after a sharp decrease in the previous month. It thus remains well above its long-term average.
