Increasing production bottlenecks
In February 2019, the production capacity utilisation rate is virtually stable after having increased sharply in the previous month. At 91.2%, it stands above its long-term average (88.5%), as since October 2017. At the same time, 43% of business managers have reported production bottlenecks, against one out of three on long-term average. This share has increased since December 2018 and has reached its highest level since October 2008. In particular, the share of production bottlenecks due to workforce shortage has kept growing. It has increased again in February 2019 and has reached 25%, its highest level since September 2008.

Prices more often expected to rise than on average
In February 2019, as many business managers as in January have announced that they will increase their prices over the next three months. The corresponding balance is stable at its highest level since August 2008, well above its long-term average.
For further information
A balance of opinion is calculated as the difference between the percentage of “increase” responses and the percentage of “decrease” responses.
