Pressures on productive capacities remain strong
In December 2019, the production capacity utilisation rate has barely decreased. At 91.8%, it stands above its long-term average (88.6%). At the same time, 46% of business managers have reported production bottlenecks, a little more than in the previous month and much more than in the long-term average. In particular, slightly less than one quarter of business managers have declared production bottlenecks due to workforce shortage. This share remains largely above its long-term average.
