Strong surge of optimism on the general business outlook for the sector
In June 2021, the balance of opinion on the general business outlook for the sector for the next three months has continued to grow strongly, in connection with the final stages of the lockdown exit. It stands at its highest level since the start of the series (January 1991).
The balance on ordering intentions has risen sharply again, driven by specialised trade and trade and repair of vehicles. It stands above its long-term average.
The balance of opinion on expected sales has continued its sharp rise begun in May. It stands well above its long-term average. The one on the sales for the last three months has rebounded markedly: it has returned above its average.
The balance of opinion on the level of stocks has fallen, mainly in trade and repair of vehicles, while remaining above its average. That on the expected development in selling prices has increased again, more sharply than in May, and has exceeded its average more largely.

The opinion of the business leaders on workforce development, both recent and expected, has improved slightly
In June 2021, the balance of opinion of the business leaders on the change in their workforce size over the last three months has recovered a little, whereas the one on the change for the next three months has increased slightly again. However, these two balances remain below their respective averages.
In retail trade (excluding trade and repair of vehicles), the business climate has returned to its long-term average
In retail trade, the business climate has continued to improve in June 2021, at a slower pace than in the previous month. At 100, the composite indicator has gained three points and has returned to its long-term average, which it had not reached since the end of 2019.
The balance of opinion on the general business outlook for the sector has risen sharply again and has reached its highest level since the start of the series (January 1991), well above its long-term average. Those on ordering intentions and expected sales have continued their sharp rise begun in the previous month, due to specialised trade. The balance on ordering intentions has returned above its average and that on expected sales stands now well above its own. The balance of opinion on recent sales has rebounded, also driven by specialised trade, and has returned to its long-term average.
The balance of opinion on the level of stocks is slightly lower while remaining above its average. That on the expected evolution of selling prices has increased again and is above its average.

Revisions
The business climate for May 2021 in the retail trade sub-sector has been revised upwards by one point while the one in trade and repair of vehicles has been revised downwards by one point. Those revisions are 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 27 May 2021 and 21 June 2021.
