According to the business leaders surveyed in November, the economic situation in services remains almost stable. The synthetic indicator is 102 and is slightly above its long-term average (100).

The business leaders consider that their activity grew at its average pace during the last few months, and that it should continue to grow at this pace in the months to come: the balances of opinion concerning past and expected activity reach their long-term average. The general outlook is still favourable. Indeed, the business leaders expect demand to remain sustained in the following months.
