Concerning the expected change in employment, the balance has sharply bounced back, while remaining below its long-term average, like the balance in retail trade. In trade and repair of motor vehicles and motor cycles, that balance has decreased, while remaining above its average.
In retail trade, the business climate has clearly improved
In December, in retail trade, the business climate has clearly improved. At 99, the composite indicator has risen by five points and has approached its long-term mean (100). This increase is mainly due to a renewed optimism of business leaders on expected employment. To a lesser extent, the increase in the balance on ordering intentions has also contributed to this improvement.
Regarding sales, the opinion of all retailers on their recent sales has improved. However, the associated balance remains below its average. In contrast, retailers as a whole are less optimistic about their expected sales. In non-specialised retail trade, this balanced has tumbled, falling below its average, while it has recovered in specialised retail trade.
