graphiqueActivity tendency in building construction
Significantly fewer business managers plan to increase their staff size
In January 2019, practically as many business managers as in December 2018 have reported an increase in their staff size over the last three months. The corresponding balance is virtually stable, well above its long-term average. However, employment prospects have deteriorated: the balance of opinion on expected staff size has sharply decreasedand has returned to its October level, well above its long-term average.

Many more business managers report lengthening repayment periods
In January 2019, practically as many business managers as in October 2018 have indicated a deterioration in their cash-flow position. The corresponding balance, virtually stable, stands below its long-term average. At the same time, many more business managers have reported that their customers’ repayment period has been lengthened. The corresponding balance has bounced back markedly after a sharp decrease in the previous quarter. It has returned to its July 2018 level, above its long-term average.
Otherwise, more business managers than in December 2018 have announced that they will increase their prices over the next three months. The corresponding balance has increased again and stands well above its long-term average.

A balance of opinion is calculated as the difference between the percentage of “increase” responses and the percentage of “decrease” responses.
