The opinion of business leaders on workforce development has deteriorated sharply
In February 2021, the balances of opinion of business leaders on the change in their workforce size, both over the last three months and for the next three months, have fallen back significantly and have returned to levels close to those of December 2020. These two balances are well below their average.
In retail trade (excluding trade and repair of vehicles), the business climate has deteriorated sharply
In February 2021, in retail trade, the business climate has deteriorated steeply after a sharp improvement in January. At 86, it has lost 9 points and has returned to its level of last December. It is therefore far below its long-term average (100).
This sharp drop is mainly due to the significant fall in the balances of opinion on the workforce size, both recent and expected, which returned to levels close to those of December 2020, significantly below their long-term average.
The sharp decline in the balance of opinion on recent sales has also contributed to the deterioration in the business climate. Conversely, the rebound in the balances on the level of stocks and on ordering intentions has mitigated it slightly.
The balance of opinion on the general business outlook for the sector has fallen again, much more moderately than in January. That on the expected development in selling prices has increased again slightly.
In trade and repair of vehicles, the business climate has weakened again
In trade and repair of vehicles, the business climate has deteriorated again in February 2021. At 90, it has lost two points and remains well below its average (100).
This moderate drop is mainly due to a further decline in the balance of opinion on ordering intentions, larger than in January. This balance stands well below its long-term average.
In February 2021, the balance of opinion relating to the general business outlook for the sector has stabilized at a very low level. That on recent sales has continued, at a slow pace, its rebound begun in January, while that on expected sales has fallen again sharply. These two balances lie below their average level.
The balance on the expected price development for the next three months has fallen back sharply and has returned below its average. The one on the level of stocks has dropped again sharply and has moved away from its own. The balance of opinion on expected workforce size is stable; that on past workforce size has increased slightly. Both stand below their long-term average.

Révisions
The business climate for January 2021 in the subsector of trade and repair of vehicles has been revised downwards by one point. This revision is mainly due to the inclusion of late responses from companies.
For more information
The whole sector “retail trade and trade and repair of motor vehicles and motor cycles” is composed for 70% of retail trade and for 30% of trade and repair of motor vehicles and motor cycles.
A balance of opinion is the difference between weighted percentage of “increase” or “above normal” answers and weighted percentage of “decrease” or “below normal” answers.
Since the definitive data of April 2020, the way of correcting non-response has been modified. The usual method was to fill in missing answers by carrying on past answers from non-responding companies. The results are now computed on the sole basis of responding companies.
Company responses were collected between 28 January 2021 and 19 February 2021.
