The general business outlook is considered a bit more unfavourable
In September 2022, the balance of opinion on the general business outlook for French retail trade as a whole as well as the one on expected sales have worsened and remain below their average.

The balance of opinion concerning the recent change in the workforce size has increased but remains below its average. The one concerning the workforce size for the next three months has slightly fallen back and moved below its own. The balance associated with the current level of stocks has recovered sharply but remains below its average. Finally, the economic uncertainty felt by business managers has decreased again in September 2022.

In retail trade (excluding trade and repair of vehicles), the business climate has worsened
In September 2022, in retail trade, the business climate has deteriorated. At 96, the composite indicator has lost three points and stands below its long-term average (100).

The one on ordering intentions has diminished sharply, reaching its lowest level since 2020. The balance of opinion on expected sales has decreased again and has moved away from its average. The bimonthly balance of opinion on cash position has deteriorated for the fourth consecutive two-month period and has moved away from its own.

Revisions
The business climate for August 2022 in trade and repair of vehicles has been revised upwards by one point. This revision is mainly due to the inclusion of late responses from companies. The other composite indicators have not been revised (after rounding).
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.
The three composite indicators of business climate presented here are estimated independently of one another. Thus, that of the whole of the retail trade and in trade and repair of vehicles cannot be deduced from the two others. The same balances of opinion are included into their calculations, but they are not assigned the same weightings. Also, the indicators are scaled to have a long-run average of 100 and a standard deviation of 10. The three climate series do not have the same historical beginning, so their standardisation differs slightly. Discrepancies may therefore appear from time to time.
For the three-modality questions, 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 26 August and 19 September 2022.
