graphiqueExpected prices in retail trade
- Source: INSEE
In retail trade (excluding trade and repair of vehicles), the business climate has sharply worsened
In October 2022, in retail trade, the business climate has deteriorated. At 92, the composite indicator has lost four points and has moved further away from its long-term average (100). This deterioration is mainly the result of a decrease in the balances on the past and expected workforce sizes.
Conversely, the balances of opinion of retailers on the activity prospects for the next three months, on ordering intentions and on expected sales, have increased while remaining below their average levels.
The balance about the current level of stocks has declined markedly and has moved below its own.
Finally, the balance of opinion on the expected selling prices has rebounded.
In trade and repair of vehicles, the business climate remains almost unchanged
In trade and repair of vehicles, the business climate is virtually stable. At 99, it has lost one point and lies just below the its long term-term average (100).
The balance of opinion on the general business outlook is stable and remains far below its average. The one on ordering intentions has decreased for the third month in a row and has moved away from its own.
The balance related to the current level of stocks has stagnated, but remains far below its long-term average. The balances related to past and expected sales have diminished but remain below their own.
About employment, the balance on the change in the workforce size over the last three months has gone up again and has moved above its average. The one related to the change for the next three months has fallen back but still lies above its own.
Finally, the balance of opinion on the expected selling prices has increased sharply and has reached its highest level since the beginning of the series (in February 2003).

Revisions
The business climate for September 2022 in trade and repair of vehicles has been revised downwards by one point (after rounding). 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 27 September and 17 October 2022.
