The opinion of business managers on past employment has deteriorated
In February 2020, less business managers than in January have reported that they had increased their staff size in the last three months. The corresponding balance of opinion has fallen back while remaining far above its long-term average.
However, the employment prospects are deemed more favourable than in January: the balance of opinion on expected employment development has risen again and remains largely above its long-term average.

The pressures on productive capacity, already strong, have increased a little
In February 2020, the production capacity utilisation rate has risen slightly. At 91.7%, the corresponding balance has bounced back and remains above its average (88.6%). At the same time, 45% of business managers have reported production bottlenecks, slightly more than last month and far more than the long-term average. In particular, a quarter of business managers have declared production bottlenecks due to workforce shortage.
